Essar Health and Safety Award

The refinery has achieved a Gold in the internationally-renowned RoSPA Health and Safety Awards, the longest-running industry awards scheme in the UK. The scheme, which receives entries from organisations around the world, recognises achievement in health and safety management systems, including practices such as leadership and workforce involvement.

Essar will be presented with the award during a ceremony at ExCeL, London on Tuesday, June 18, 2019.

Health and Safety remains a key focus for everyone at Essar.

Mr. S Thangapandian, Chief Executive Officer Essar Oil UK

Mr. S Thangapandian, continued: “We are delighted to once again receive the Gold RoSPA award, demonstrating external recognition of our commitment to health and safety management.”

The majority of RoSPA awards are non-competitive and mark achievement at merit, bronze, silver and gold levels. Gold medals, president’s awards and orders of distinction are presented to organisations sustaining the high standards of the gold level over consecutive years.
