The 2015 award winners have demonstrated to the satisfaction of the scheme’s independent judges their commitment to preventing workplace injuries and work-related ill health.

More than 500 organizations won an International Safety Award for 2015, and the winning organizations span all sectors and range from the United Kingdom, Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the West Indies.

Neal Stone, acting Chief Executive of the British Safety Council, congratulated GardaWorld International Protective Services on its success. “On behalf of the Trustees and staff of the British Safety Council we warmly congratulate GardaWorld International Protective Services and its employees on gaining an International Safety Award with merit for 2015. All of those working at GardaWorld International Protective Services have made this award possible, which recognizes their commitment to preventing injury and ill health in the workplace."

“It was also apparent that these winning organizations overall recognize the value that proportionate and sensible management of occupational health and safety risks brings to the organization, its people and society."

“The International Labour Organization estimates that every year over 2.3 million people globally are senselessly killed due to workplace injury and work-related ill health and an estimated 4% of global GDP is lost due to health and safety failure. Awards have an important role to play in shining a light on those employers who are taking sensible and effective steps to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their workers, celebrating their efforts and encouraging other businesses everywhere."

“The International Safety Awards rightly reflects the importance of aiming for good standards of health and safety at work. GardaWorld International Protective Services should rightly be proud of its achievement. Our congratulations."
