C&W Services Wins over 50 National Safety Council Awards

Celebrating our industry-leading safety record.

• The National Safety Council has been one of the world’s leading safety organizations for over 100 years.
• C&W Services received two corporate awards: The Corporate Culture of Safety Award and the Industry Leader Award.
• C&W Services client teams received 58 awards for their safety efforts in 2017, including nine Perfect Record awards.

As a leader in the facilities services industry, we’re constantly working to make sure that all of our employees, clients and suppliers at all of our client sites across the U.S. and Canada are safe and secure. That’s why we’re excited to announce that the National Safety Council awarded us 58 awards for our work during the 2017 calendar year.

“Ensuring all our employees, suppliers and clients safety is our number one priority, we are constantly improving our safety program and are extremely proud of the safety culture we are building ?,” says Paul Bedborough, Chief Executive. “Safety is a key part of everything we do, from our guiding principles and annual strategic plans down to the daily operations at every site. This continued focus on safety has resulted in us reducing our company-wide incident rates by a significant margin. In fact, at the end of September, we achieved our lowest OSHA Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) in company history.”

We believe that safety is a true team effort, and we’d like to thank everyone on our team who contributes to making our client sites safer each and every day. These awards are a testament to each individual’s dedication to implementing and upholding a culture of safety.
