McLaren Construction has fought off global competition to win two prestigious Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) Awards, demonstrating its commitment to health and safety excellence.

McLaren Construction won a Gold Medal Award in the Occupational Achievement category, for a seventh consecutive year, demonstrating its dedication to ensuring its staff, customers, clients and contractors get home safely at the end of every working day. McLaren International has also won a Gold Medal Award, for the fourth consecutive year, highlighting the high standards of health and safety practices of its work in the Middle East region.

The esteemed RoSPA Awards program now celebrates its 68th year as the UK's largest and most impactful health and safety programme. With almost 2,000 entries annually from over 50 countries, impacting over seven million employees, they offer a platform to spotlight an unwavering commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in health and safety.

Whether entrants seek non-competitive excellence recognition or vie for competitive awards across 32 industry sectors, the RoSPA Awards provide an unparalleled opportunity to stand among leaders shaping safer, healthier workplaces.


As of this year, the RoSPA award entry process can be used as reflective practise to contribute to continuing professional development (CPD).

Alan Blanchett, Group SHEQ Director, at McLaren Construction, said: "We are honoured to receive this prestigious award from RoSPA. To be awarded Gold Medal over seven consecutive years is a tribute to the hard work and dedication of our staff. This is a fantastic achievement and shows the continuous improvement within the business towards our Health & Safety Management policy and objectives and our commitment to the high standards set regarding health & safety through our employees and those associated with our business."

Mark Stephen Hunt, Managing Director of McLaren International, said: "Being recognised with a Gold Medal Award at this year's RoSPA Health and Safety Awards is testimony to the high quality standards that our colleagues here in the Middle East are delivering to, year after year. The award speaks of our continuous progress and improvement in health and safety management, policies and practice, and we are committed to bringing this to all the clients and suppliers we work with."

Julia Small, RoSPA's Achievements Director, said: "Workplace accidents don't just pose financial risks and operational disruptions; they significantly impact the quality of life for individuals. This is why acknowledging and rewarding excellent safety performance is vital.

"We congratulate McLaren Construction for winning a prestigious RoSPA Award and showing an unwavering commitment to keeping employees, clients and customers safe from accidental harm and injury."

Sponsored by Croner-i, the RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, and receives entries from organisations across the globe, making it one of the most sought-after achievement awards for the health and safety industry.
