A CATERING wholsesaler has been served with two awards for health and safety.
Dalton-based Total Foodservice won the prestigious company trophy at the International Safety Awards 2013 while health and safety representative Radoslaw Kozlowski was awarded the individual title of International Health and Safety Champion.
Radoslaw, who was shortlisted to the final five out of 500 nominations, was recognised for developing a nearly hazard-free working environment by focusing on safety features such as bailer checks, pallet truck checks and plant checks.
The awards, now in their 55th year, were presented at a gala dinner at London’s Grosvenor House Hotel.
Paul Nowell, operations director at Total Foodservice, said: “Radoslaw is hugely deserving of this accolade. He constantly shows complete dedication to not only executing and promoting the stringent health and safety regulations the company has in place, but also suggesting sensible amendments to those policies and managing the change throughout the business.”
Radoslaw said: “I couldn’t have done this without the absolute support of my colleagues. My motto is: See it, Own it, Do something about it! (Sod for short) – all my colleagues are ‘sodding it’ now, but there’s always room for improvement!.”
