Collective energy BNG Resident Engineers Safety Award The Sellafield Contractors Safety Award is awarded each year by the Sellafield Resident Engineers department who are responsible for managing and controlling all subcontractor activities at the site. This award is based on site visits and detailed audits of contractors work to assess conformance and compliance with procedures. MITIE won the top award for demonstrating exceptional management of its health and safety performance on-site over a 12-month period including compliance, areas of innovation and outstanding performance. The inspection also looked at other issues including leadership, competence, employee involvement and development, learning from experience processes, environmental awareness, sub contractor management as well as safety, health and welfare conditions with respect to MITIE’s work areas, compounds and offices on site. Gary Savage, Account Director for MITIE at Sellafield said: “This award really means a great deal to the team at MITIE as it recognises our excellent performance and all the hard work and effort the entire team has put into the contract.” John Taylor, Resident Engineer for Sellafield Ltd commented: “The performance of our contractors on site is extremely important to us at Sellafield. Their successes and failures reflect directly on us as the managers and operators of the site on behalf of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority and ultimately the public. The Zone 1 Award for contractors with more than 200 employees given to MITIE is reward and recognition of its management of the contract and associated works to consistent standards that exhibit good or best practice.”
