Safety campaign for schools also wins RoSPA Award
The Tristar Group’s exemplary record in road safety was feted at the RoSPA Health and Safety Awards held in Dubai recently. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) also hailed the company’s best practices, and the hands-on safety approach led by its founder.
The prestigious non-profit presented Tristar with the RoSPA Gold Medal for the seventh consecutive year, and the RoSPA Fleet Safety Trophy–Middle East. It also recognised the company’s ongoing road safety programme in schools with the RoSPA Winner of Health & Safety Beyond the Workplace.
In 2023, Tristar covered a record 545mn kilometres and clocked 132,952,860 manhours, without a single road fatality and occupational disease among its drivers and ground staff and attributed the win to ‘visible and felt leadership’ across the company.
Awards
The annual RoSPA Health and Safety Awards is one of the largest occupational health and safety awards programme in the world. Now in its 68th year, the Awards have 2,000 entries every year from 60 countries.
Addressing the audience at the conference, Eugene Mayne, Founder and Group CEO of Tristar, presented the 4Es that form the foundation of the company’s safety practices–Education, Engineering, Enforcement, and Evaluation.
