The company is one of 87 organisations to win a Distinction in the 2020 International Safety Awards.
Now in their 62nd year, the International Safety Awards recognise and celebrate organisations from around the world which have demonstrated to the satisfaction of the scheme's independent judges their commitment to preventing workplace injuries and work-related ill health during the previous calendar year. The awards also recognise organisations that have shown commitment to wellbeing and mental health at work.
Congratulating McAleer & Rushe on the award, Mike Robinson, Chief Executive of the British Safety Council, said: "The British Safety Council commends McAleer & Rushe on their achievement. The award is in recognition of their commitment and efforts to keep their employees and workplaces free of injury and ill health. All of those working at McAleer & Rushe should be rightly proud of their achievement."
