Industrial

AG Engineering, a specialised building services and infrastructure projects company, was awarded the British Safety Council’s Sword of Honour, in recognition of its rigorous application of Health and Safety practices in the workplace

To ensure workers welfare and mitigate health and safety risks, AG Engineering implemented robust processes and training to uphold the highest standards of quality, health, safety and environmental protection.  The award follows British Safety Council’s health and safety management audit, for which AG Engineering achieved the maximum five stars.

Jacob John, CEO of AG Engineering, said, “At AG Engineering, we pride ourselves on a people-first approach and ensuring the well-being of our people is our highest priority. To be the first construction company in the region to receive the Sword of Honour is testament to our continual efforts to implement robust health and safety standards throughout our projects. This honour is only possible thanks to our employees’ commitment to best practices, and we are pleased that their efforts have been recognised by the British Safety Council.”

Lawrence Waterman, chairman of the British Safety Council, said, “On behalf of the board of trustees and staff of the British Safety Council I would like to congratulate AG Engineering on achieving the topmost standards of health, safety and environmental management.  Accomplishing such distinction takes real commitment and professionalism. We are delighted to have supported you in your achievements in what has been an unprecedented year given the COVID-19 pandemic.”

Mike Robinson, CEO of the British Safety Council, added, “I would like to congratulate AG Engineering for their steadfast dedication to keeping their workplace safe and healthy and minimising risks to the environment from their organisations’ day-to-day activities. This year presented an additional and significant challenge in the form of COVID-19 and I pay tribute to AG Engineering for its hard work and commitment through these challenging circumstances.”
