SIAC Facades was given the prestigious International Safety Award by the British Safety Council.

SIAC Facades, a leading specialist contractor for the design and installation of roofing and external building envelope solutions in the UK and Ireland was given the prestigious International Safety Award by the British Safety Council.

Following tough independent adjudication, SIAC Facades won the Award which recognises them amongst those companies with exemplary health and safety records and practices.

Only companies with accident incidence rates lower than the industry average are eligible to apply.

Sean McGettigan, Managing Director, SIAC Facades says: "We are delighted to have won the award again this year.

It's a great achievement which endorses SIAC's commitment to health and safety for our customers, suppliers, partners and employees.

It is especially rewarding to see that we have out-performed the standard measures set for the construction industry and are working hard to achieve the award again next year." Winners must have sound safety policies and plans, showing a commitment to health and safety from the shop floor to the boardroom.

They must detail their health and safety manager's qualifications and provide details of significant health and safety advances for the year.

Prime Minister Tony Blair acknowledged the hard work saying: "I send my congratulations to all those organisations being presented with an award by the British Safety Council.

These awards recognise the success that these organisations and their employees have achieved in their pursuit of excellence in the management of health, safety and environmental matters." David Ballard, Chief Executive of the British Safety Council, said: "For nearly fifty years, we have led the way in promoting health, safety and environmental best practice in society.

In the 21st century, many organisations worldwide are now making health and safety a top priority.

A company that consistently works towards improving its safety record is investing in the future.".
