Trust earns prestigious global health and safety award from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA)

For the eleventh consecutive year, the Trust has earned a Gold Award for its health and safety performance. In recognition of this achievement, TRFT continue to be in an exclusive group of organisations honoured with the President’s Award.

In its 68th year, the RoSPA Health and Safety Awards is the largest occupational health and safety awards programme in the UK. The internationally renowned awards recognise organisations, teams and projects across all sectors for their unwavering commitment to protecting lives, setting the benchmark for prestige and inspiring sector-wide admiration. By earning a RoSPA Award, organisations not only receive recognition for their accomplishments but also become part of a legacy that values dedication to high safety standards, the wellbeing of individuals, and signifies a commitment to excellence.

Linda Martin, Interim Director of Estates and Facilities at The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust, said: “We are incredibly proud to receive the RoSPA President's Award for achieving Gold for 11 consecutive years, which is not an easy task. This is a testament to our dedication to the health and safety of our patients, visitors, and staff.”

Julia Small, RoSPA’s Achievements Director, said: "Workplace accidents don't just pose financial risks and operational disruptions; they significantly impact the quality of life for individuals. This is why acknowledging and rewarding excellent safety performance is vital.

“We congratulate The Rotherham NHS Foundation Trust for winning a prestigious RoSPA Award and showing an unwavering commitment to keeping employees, clients and customers safe from accidental harm and injury.”

Sponsored by Croner-i, the RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, and receives entries from organisations across the globe, making it one of the most sought-after achievement awards for the health and safety industry.
