Water Pollution Prevention Award 2022: 

On Wednesday 14th September 2022 BSIF announced the winners of the Water Pollution Prevention Award 2022. The award ceremony took place during the Contamination & Geotech Exhibition held at the NEC, Birmingham.

The Water Pollution Prevention Award, supported by the Environment Agency, the Scottish Environmental Protection Agency and Natural Resources Wales recognises the efforts made by business to protect the environment and ensure that all water pollution risks are managed in an effective and efficient way. The entrants submitted case studies based upon their approaches, the criteria for the award was based around the entrant demonstrating a detailed understanding of their working environment in relation to preventing incidents that could lead to the pollution of the water environment, surface water or ground water.

Each of the award entries were independently judged by the Environment Agency who then decided upon the finalists. BSIF were delighted to announce the winners of the award as:

Fosse Liquitrol – Winner

E3P/Urban Regen – Highly Commended

Binnies UK & Anglian Water Services – Commended

Siltbuster – Commended

BSIF congratulate the winners and thank them for their dedicated work in preventing water pollution within the UK.

The awards are a celebration of Safety & Health and help to demonstrate the importance of the role it plays across all industries in the UK. It’s time to move away from the notion of the ‘Burden of Health & Safety’ to celebrating and truly recognising the vital role we all have in looking after employees whilst they are at work. The UK has one of the best health & safety records in the world, it is something to be proud of and something to be shouted about and that is the purpose of the BSIF Safety Awards.
