British Safety Council announces the winners of the
2016 Sword of Honour and Globe of Honour
awards

The British Safety Council has announced the
winners of this year’s Sword of Honour and
Globe of Honour awards for the exemplary
management of health, safety and environmental
risks by businesses around the world. The 64
Sword of Honour and 18 Globe of Honour winning
companies have demonstrated to an independent
adjudication panel a proven track record of
excellence in managing risks to workers’ health
and safety and/or to the environment from the
organisations’ activities.
Mike Robinson, Chief Executive of the British
Safety Council, said: “On behalf of the trustees
and staff of the British Safety Council, I would
like to congratulate those winning organisations
and their staff for their huge commitment to
keeping their workplaces safe and healthy and
minimising risks to the environment from their
organisations’ day-to-day activities.
“This year’s result has proven that the imperative
that that no-one should be injured or made ill at
work is increasingly recognised throughout the
globe. ‘The best of the best’ performers in
health, safety or environmental management,
who won the 2016 Sword of Honour and Globe of
Honour awards, are at the forefront of achieving
safe, healthy and sustainable workplace and
business practices.
“The awards process and the final ceremony
represent an opportunity to celebrate their
success and encourage other organisations
everywhere to follow their lead, as we know the
business case for good health and safety is
strong. The more we can do to promote these
awards and learn from the winners, the more we
can do to protect both workers and the
environment.”

range of industry sectors in the UK, mainland
