National reputation for safety innovation

May Gurney was a winner in the 2006 Health & Safety Awards, which were organised by Building Magazine and presented at the Hilton Hotel, Park Lane, London on 22 June.

The awards recognise excellence, innovation and professionalism in all areas of construction safety, occupational health, site facilities and staff welfare.

May Gurney scooped the Best Building Contractor's Safety Award for its MAD programme, which was described by the judges as 'a sort of psychological reprogramming for site safety'.

With clients increasingly minded to only work with organisations that have a good track record in health and safety, the awards represent an excellent opportunity for organisations to showcase their strengths in this area.

The judges concluded: 'May Gurney's building division has reported an accident rate of zero since the initiative started. Not so much mad, as very sensible.'
