NORTHERN RAIL
TRIUMPHS AGAIN AT HEALTH AND SAFETY AWARDS
NORTHERN Rail, the UK's
largest rail operator, has yet again had its outstanding commitment
to health and safety commended at this year's RoSPA Occupational
Health and Safety Awards.
Winning the 'Transport, Storage and Distribution Industry
Sector Award' for the fifth year in a row, Northern's Safety and Assurance
Director, Gary Stewart, commented:- "Once again our dedication
to the health and safety of our customers and employees has been
rewarded and we are delighted to take this award for the fifth
consecutive year."
The RoSPA Occupational Health and Safety Awards scheme is the
largest and longest-running programme of its kind in the UK
and recognises commitment to accident and ill health prevention. It
not only looks at accident records, but also entrants' overarching
health and safety management systems, including important practices
such as strong leadership and workforce involvement.
David Rawlins, awards manager at RoSPA, said:- "RoSPA firmly
believes that organisations that demonstrate commitment to
continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention deserve
recognition. Northern Rail has shown that it is committed to
striving for such continuous improvement and we are delighted to
honour it through the presentation of an award."
MAN ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION OF AN
AIR RIFLE IN PUBLIC
MERSEYSIDE Police have confirmed that a man has been arrested
for possessing an air weapon in Southport on 24 May 2013. The 28
year old local man was arrested shortly after 9am by officers
responding to reports that a man had been seen in Hesketh Drive
armed with a weapon. Following his arrest, a search of nearby
gardens in Hilbre Drive led to the recovery of an air rifle. There
is no information to suggest the weapon has been fired or any
reports that anyone has been threatened with it. The man was placed
into Police Custody and later questioned about the incident. |
