And the winner is...

The 2010 BSIF Safety Awards were presented at the RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards Gala Dinner at the Hilton Metropole Hotel in Birmingham. Taking place alongside Safety & Health Expo 2010, the awards recognise excellence within the safety industry, excellence in customer service, product innovation and improving occupational health and safety.

David Lummis, BSIF Enterprises, said: “We were delighted by the high standard of entries this year. We were pleased to be able to join with RoSPA to recognise the overall winners, in front of almost 900 people, at its prestigious awards dinner.

“We would like to congratulate not only the winners but also everyone who entered for their ongoing commitment to the safety industry. It is through their efforts that the UK is able to continue to offer excellence within the occupational health and safety market.”

Josephine Audoin, marketing manager of Sperian Protection which won the Product Innovation Award for its Veripro innovation, comments: “We are delighted that the genuine innovation demonstrated by the development of VeriPRO has been recognised through this award. Hearing conservation is an area that Sperian Protection is passionate about finding new solutions for and VeriPRO enables employers to measure the actual protection an employee receives from their earplugs to provide a Personal Attenuation Rating - something that has never been achievable before outside of a laboratory.”
