To receive the President’s Award, the contractor has achieved 12 consecutive Gold Awards by demonstrating excellent occupational health and safety management systems, a rigorous approach to occupational health, a continued high level of performance and compliance with control measures.

The award was presented to Gordon MacKenzie, health, safety, environment and quality manager for Clark Contracts, by Errol Taylor, RoSPA chief executive, during the awards ceremony at the Hilton Hotel in Glasgow.

To achieve recognition from one of the most highly respected occupational awards for a 12th consecutive year reinforces this commitment and we are extremely proud to be receiving our third President’s Award at this years’ ceremony.”
