METRO Rod, the UK drainage solution provider with an operation in Whixley, has been awarded the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents' (RoSPA) highest award for occupational safety in its first year of entry.
The company, whose Whixley franchise, called Metro Rod York, handles accounts including Help-Link UK and Fenwicks of York, received the award at the 2006 RoSPA Occupational Safety Awards ceremony in Birmingham.
Penny Langley, of Metro Rod York, said: "The award is a fantastic achievement and underlines the importance we place on health and safety.
"We invest a lot in ensuring the best training, support and communication systems are in place to provide all of our team with the knowledge and expertise to operate to the highest standards and with maximum safety."
To achieve the award, Metro Rod demonstrated the highest levels of safety performance, training, assessment and communication within the water industry sector, providing the judges with detailed facts and figures on safety operations over the past five years.
