Most recently Moores worked to its SPACE principles, which consider Simplicity, Pride, Accountability, Collaboration and Expertise.

According to the company, it involves eliminating complexity through Simple processes, taking Pride in supporting colleagues to engage in health and safety, holding Accountability for keeping everyone safe, and maintaining these principles with Collaboration and Expertise.

Setting up weekly Safety, Health & Environment (SHE) tours, personnel responsible for health and safety could engage with the workforce and receive firsthand feedback on procedures which were working well or needed improvement.

Health and safety manager at Moores Kevin Bell commented: “The RoSPA award scheme acts as a benchmark to measure our health and safety performance against the best within the manufacturing industry sector.

“It gives me an immense sense of pride to exceed the gold standard and gain such recognition within our sector.

“The award is something we can hold up personally and organisationally and say what we do does count and does make a difference.”
