Go Ape awarded ROSPA Gold Award for the fifth year in a row

Go Ape are delighted to have been awarded the prestigious RoSPA (Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents) Gold award for health and safety practices for the fifth year in a row.

The RoSPA Health and Safety Awards is the largest occupational health and safety awards programme in the UK. Now into its 67th year, the Awards have almost 2,000 entries every year, covering nearly 50 countries and a reach of over seven million employees. The programme recognises organisations’ commitment to continuous improvement in the prevention of accidents and ill health at work, looking at entrants’ overarching health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.

While most awards are non-competitive – recognising individual organisations’ achievements – competitive awards are presented in 20 industry sectors and for specialist areas of health and safety management.

Linda Green, Go Ape Head of Health Safety and Wellbeing, said, “We are extremely proud to have been awarded a RoSPA Gold Award for the 5th consecutive year. Go Ape is a truly rewarding leisure activity, and I would like to thank every member of our tribe for their continued commitment to enforcing our robust safety management system. We remain committed to managing risks for our staff, contractors, volunteers and visitors to ensure that everyone’s Go Ape experience is positive and inspires them to continue living life adventurously.”

Go Ape Managing Director, Nick Hall, also said, “Go Ape's fifth consecutive Gold ROSPA Health & Safety award is an amazing achievement and demonstrates our dedication to keep our customers and co-owners safe whilst they take a step outside of their comfort zone on a forest adventure. A big thank you to all our co-owners and support teams in making this happen."

Julia Small, RoSPA’s Achievements Director, said: “Accidents at work and work-related ill health don’t just have huge financial implications or cause major disruption – they significantly impact an individual’s quality of life. That’s why good safety performance deserves to be recognised and rewarded.

“We are thrilled that Go Ape has won a RoSPA Award and would like to congrtulate them on showing an unwavering commitment to keeping their 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.
