Caddick Construction has been honoured with an International Safety Award from the British Safety Council, marking the company's successful commitment to high health and safety standards. The awards, now in their 68th year, celebrate organisations globally that demonstrate a rigorous approach to preventing workplace injuries and maintaining mental health and wellbeing.
The recognition follows a strong year for the contractor, which recorded an Accident Frequency Rate of 0.83 in 2025. The International Safety Awards involve independent adjudication and include winners from 51 countries across diverse sectors, including construction, mining, and manufacturing. Caddick Construction achieved a Merit in this year's scheme.
James Eastham, Head of SHEQ at Caddick Construction, commented: "This recognition is a testament to the collective effort of our teams who consistently prioritise safety in everything they do. We are committed to fostering a proactive safety culture, where risks are effectively managed and everyone feels empowered to take responsibility for their own wellbeing and that of others. Achieving a Merit in these awards reinforces that we are on the right path, while also motivating us to continue improving."
Paul Dodsworth, Caddick Construction Group Managing Director, added: "Safety is fundamental to how we operate; it's embedded in our culture and our values and this award highlights the strength of our approach across all areas of our business. I am incredibly proud of our teams for their continued focus and dedication. While we celebrate this achievement, we remain focused on driving even higher standards and ensuring that everyone returns home safely at the end of each day."
The British Safety Council's vision is that no worker should be injured or made ill by their duties. Mike Robinson, Chief Executive of the British Safety Council, said: "Our winners have all made significant and continued efforts to protect and improve the health, safety and wellbeing of everyone in their organisations. All the winners, and those who were shortlisted, have dedicated substantial time, resources and commitment to ensuring their work, teams and workplaces remain healthy and safe during 2025. I also thank all organisations who took time to apply for these awards, and to our panel of volunteer judges for adjudicating.
"It is our vision at the British Safety Council that no-one should be injured or made ill through their work – wherever that takes place around the world. By sharing the achievements of the winners of these awards, we can inspire other employers everywhere to follow their lead and give workers' health, safety and wellbeing the priority it rightly deserves."
