Moy Park, one of the UK’s top food manufacturers, has won an International Safety Award with merit from the British Safety Council.

The international awards programme, now in its 57th year, honours UK and international businesses, public and third sector bodies who seek to promote high standards of health and safety management practices. The long-established awards have this year been won by organisations spanning the United Kingdom, Africa, Asia, Europe, the Middle East and the West Indies.

This is the second year that Moy Park has won an International Safety Award; this year the award was presented to the company’s Convenience Business Unit.

Mike Mullan, Moy Park’s HR director Europe, commented, “We are delighted to have received this great accolade once again, it is fantastic for Moy Park to sit amongst leading businesses from across the UK and the rest of the world. At Moy Park we are committed to continually driving forward health and safety practices for our employees and to maintaining the very highest standards. We are honoured that these high standards have been acknowledged with this prestigious award.”

Neal Stone, acting chief executive of the British Safety Council, congratulated Moy Park on its success. “On behalf of the Trustees and staff of the British Safety Council we warmly congratulate Moy Park’s Convenience Business Unit and its employees on gaining an International Safety Award with merit for 2015.

“Awards have an important role to play in shining a light on those employers who are taking sensible and effective steps to ensure the health, safety and welfare of their workers, celebrating their efforts and encouraging other businesses everywhere.

“The International Safety Awards rightly reflects the importance of aiming for good standards of health and safety at work. Moy Park’s Convenience Business Unit should rightly be proud of its achievement.”
