XERVON Palmers Heathrow Airport

XERVON Palmers, has been awarded a prestigious safety award for scaffolding and access work on Heathrow Airport.

Scaffolding contractor, XERVON Palmers, has been awarded a prestigious Heathrow Airport Limited (HAL) safety award – for their extensive scaffolding and access work on the new multi-million pound Terminal 2B “Queen’s Terminal” project. It is understood this is the first time a scaffolding contractor has won one of the coveted HAL awards.

The HAL awards have twelve categories (Behavioral Safety Champion, Training Initiative, Leadership, Innovation, Team, Team Support, Project, Individual, Safety Professional, Supervisor, Design and Health) and are designed to recognise all those who have made an “outstanding contribution to health & safety within development in 2013 at Heathrow Airport.” XERVON Palmers won an award in the ‘Designing for Safety’ category – which acknowledged the design and safe construction of a scaffold which was built during nightshifts, within a high risk environment, where care and attention to detail had to be ensured or works could potentially have affected the control and lighting of all the take-off and landing runways at the airport.

The HAL awards were presented by John Holland-Kaye, Heathrow Development Director and David Pyle, Heathrow Head of Safety at an Award’s ceremony in London earlier this Spring and XERVON Palmers were represented by the scaffolding nightshift foreman and two of the airport division’s workforce.

Ian McFarlane, Director for Business & Project Development at XERVON Palmers said:

“This is a great tribute to our workforce and support staff who deliver access & scaffolding daily at Heathrow. Our thanks and big well done to all involved for their hard work in achieving this excellent award.”

And Donald Morrison, CEO of XERVON Palmers added:

“We are all very proud of the quality of our work at Heathrow’s Terminal T2B and of the attentive safety culture associated with that – delivering high quality scaffolding and access solutions, 100% safely, within a challenging work environment.”
