Actavo has been awarded three awards from the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents.

Actavo has announced that it has secured three prestigious, internationally recognised awards in recognition of its work in the area of health and safety, at the annual Health and Safety Awards organised by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) in the UK.

All three RoSPA awards recognise Actavo for its long-term achievements in the area of health and safety.

Actavo Industrial Solutions UK and Actavo Hire & Sales UK have been awarded the RoSPA Order of Distinction Award following 17 consecutive years of achieving Gold Awards.
