ABB Consulting’s demolition and remediation team have won a top safety certificate awarded by the country’s Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) for the rigorous safety management standards applied in 2010 to one of many projects undertaken by the group.
The ‘Team’ members of the ABB, Esso and suppliers senior managers.
The joint ABB / Esso demolition and remediation project team have been awarded the RoSPA Gold for the fourth year running and the 7th RoSPA award in total. This is recognised as a fantastic achievement by the project team who are setting the industry standard for safe demolition and remediation projects, through their leadership, dedication and commitment to delivering health and safety excellence.
The work associated with the award winning project is predominantly located within complex city centre environments, where reducing petrol retail margins and rising land prices have made the sale of land financially attractive. To enable the land to be sold, it needs to be remediated to eliminate any potential historical legacy issues. In delivering the project, ABB has overall responsibility for decommissioning, CDM coordination, land remediation and project management. ABB applied their five stage demolition methodology to the project to offer Esso a safe, cost effective and complete solution.
“RoSPA firmly believes that organisations that have demonstrated their commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention deserve recognition. ABB / Esso demolition and remediation projects has shown that it is committed to striving for such continuous improvement and we are delighted to honour it through the presentation of an award.”
David Rawlins, RoSPA Awards Manager
