Lovell, responsible for developments including Glow Garren in Hamilton and Oakwood Edge in Midlothian, scooped the coveted Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Order of Distinction Gold Award at the 2023 annual Health and Safety Awards. This marks nearly two decades of success at the highest level.

Lovell Health and Safety Manager, William Lindsay, accepted the award from Interim Regional Director, David Carmichael.

The RoSPA Health and Safety Awards are the largest occupational health and safety awards programme in the UK. They recognise organisations committed to continuous improvement in the prevention of accidents and ill health at work.

Lovell said it always puts the health and safety of its workforce at the centre of every working day, including at the recently launched The Crossings at Bridgewater Village development, which is now officially underway.

This excellent track record also includes achieving two key recent milestones: having no reportable incidents in the relevant period and introducing a new online platform to share and benefit from best practice and innovation.

Lovell thanked RoSPA for its continued dedication to improving occupational health and workplace safety and for continuing to recognise Lovell as a leader in keeping people safe and healthy at work.

William Lindsay, health, safety, and environmental manager at Lovell, said: “At Lovell, the health and safety of everyone we work with is our utmost priority and we are proud to see our commitment being recognised once again.

“The RoSPA awards are rightly recognised as the Oscars of workplace safety in the UK, and so winning their top award for nearly two continuous decades is something we are thrilled to have achieved.

“Lovell will continue to live up to this record in the future and we look forward to, hopefully, celebrating with another such award in 2024.”

Julia Small, RoSPA’s achievements director, added: “Accidents at work and work-related ill health don’t just have huge financial implications or cause major disruption – they significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. That’s why good safety performance deserves to be recognised and rewarded.

“We are thrilled that Lovell Partnerships has won a RoSPA Award and would like to congratulate them on showing an unwavering commitment to keeping their employees, clients and customers safe from accidental harm and injury.”
