Presented in a ceremony at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel, the awards recognise organisations which have shown a real commitment to setting and maintaining high health and safety standards.

To gain the accolades, assessed by independent adjudicators, Lovell demonstrated it had a comprehensive health and safety regime in place and provided evidence of initiatives designed to keep improving health and safety.

“Keeping our workforce safe on site and ensuring the health and safety of those who live or work near our developments is an absolute priority and I am delighted that these awards recognise the dedication and hard work of our team and of our subcontractors,” says Lovell regional director Steve Coombs.

These are the latest in a series of safety accolades secured by the London region of Lovell. Other recent awards include the Construction Health and Safety Group’s Beaumont Safety Trophy in recognition of the company’s contribution to safety on its construction sites across the south east. The region was also Commended in the Housebuilding & Property Development category of the sector awards at the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards 2010.
