Actavo puts Health & Safety at the heart of what it does

Actavo Ireland was awarded the prestigious Higher Distinction and Exceptional High Achiever award at the Niso Awards 2019. The award is presented to an organisation that has consistently achieved a high-standard safety award for more than ten years.

This top accolade is a major endorsement of Actavo’s continuous commitment to health and safety. It also demonstrates Actavo’s high standards of safety in its workforce and highlights the company’s drive to obtain zero harm and to become industry leaders for outstanding safety performance.

“It is a major achievement to win a Niso Award and I am very proud of the company’s ability to achieve this year-on-year,” said Global EHS & IT, Director Willie Ryan. “Health and safety are at the centre of what we do. This prestigious Exceptional High Achiever award demonstrates Actavo’s pledge to improve health-and-safety standards for over the past ten years. This is a reflection of two of the company’s five values: live safely and operate sustainably. “These awards are a testament to the stellar work carried out by staff and management to continually build and improve the safety values of the company.”

“Over the past ten years, Actavo has invested heavily in training,” said Willie Ryan. “Health and safety is always top of our agenda at every weekly senior management meeting and board meeting. Within the company, safety, health, environmental and quality performance are viewed as core business values, and this ethos is evident as Actavo has been a consistent Category 1 winner at these awards since 2006, achieving the Supreme Award in 2015.”
