Testimonials

Kier Construction

I can formally confirm that Award Health & Safety are one of Kier's preferred deliverers of Asbestos Awareness training within the Kier Southern Region.

I have used them on three projects and found them to be very prompt, diligent and great at delivering what is a mandatory requirement to any person being set to work under all Health and Safety guidance.

Chris at Award Health & Safety has also been a particular source of reliable knowledge on the changing world of asbestos regulations.

Award have also delivered the asbestos awareness message at less formal events for Kier such as our Spring Reception and SHE seminars to a wider audience of professionals and senior managers.

I have no hesitation in recommending them for any work within this vein.

M3 Asbestos Ltd

I would like to take this opportunity to express our thanks and gratitude for the professional and swift manner in which you have updated our company's safety requirements.

As the Health & Safety Director for the company I am heartened to see that over the last 2 years we have not had a single accident on site. Not even a minor incident!

This is due in part, to our safety officer attending your varied training courses, but mainly it is because of your excellent input to our safety regime and your friendly but firm approach to the men on site.

I have recommended your services to others and will continue to do so. Many thanks.

Ian Stupples
Director

Ecological Planning & Research Limited

Ecological Planning & Research Limited has been using the services of Award H&S Limited since 2007. We are particularly impressed with their bespoke approach to our requirements, something which larger impersonal H&S Consultancies never seem to achieve. They are particularly good at listening to us and are genuinely interested in our business and ensuring that we meet, and comply with, our H&S requirements. Chris and his team are always contactable by phone or email should we need guidance, and make themselves available to meet up on site if we have issues that require their expertise.

They always keep us up to speed with new legislation and ensure that we follow this through with our own internal policies, procedures, training and risk assessments. Our staff really enjoy Chris’ training workshops as he manages to deliver what is a serious subject in an interesting, interactive and enlightening manner.

I would have no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Award H&S Limited to other companies and would be more than happy to discuss this with anybody who is considering using their services.

Lifetime

Two years ago we first heard of Award H&S when we were looking for a local company to provide training for us, as our current H&S consultants worked out as non cost effective solution.

Chris came along and carried out the training for us and the amount of positive feedback I received from operatives and management was unbelievable. They liked Chris’s teaching manner in the way he made things simple and put things into basic English that everyone understood. During the next two years Chris kept enquiring about his company taking over all our H&S requirements, and informed me of all the benefits of doing this and how he could help….At that time I never realised how true this was!!

At the beginning of the year after long talks we decided to pay the extra money and bring Award on as our new consultants and I can honestly say I have never looked back. Chris and his team worked extremely hard in checking all our systems and processes, and I know for a fact spent many an evening working on it as well!

Since setting up a new updated plan of systems and process within the company Chris and his team have proven to be invaluable in the support, care and personal touch they have shown us, and in many instances have gone completely beyond the call of duty.

In the last 11 months the company has now gone from strength to strength and hugely raised its profile with local councils in showing how on the ball we now are with H&S legislation, CDM Random site inspections etc. Every single process Chris has updated or shown guidance on has been praised by our clients and commented on, such as…”Its so refreshing to see a Construction company doing what they say they do as far as H&S is concerned!”…..Hence us now securing more contracts and winning more business.

Our relationship has now got stronger and stronger and we now consider Award as an extension of our own company, and long may it continue!
