Are you eligible for the Health and Safety Seal of Excellence?

BPIF’s Health and Safety Seal of Excellence (SoE) programme is a way for businesses to showcase their Health and Safety management expertise, both internally and to the wider Print Industry.

To achieve the award, a business must undergo an in-depth audit in which it will be assessed and scored on all key areas. Feedback will be given on the day of the audit including areas where improvement is needed. The audit will then be repeated every two years, and in order to retain its status the business must maintain or improve its score each time. Often the SoE award is just one stage in a programme of continued improvement.

Our most recent Health and Safety SoE award was presented to Orchard Press. 

Mandy Robson, Head of Professional Services at the BPIF has praised Orchard Press for its ongoing commitment towards continually improving their performance relating to health and safety. Mandy commented that “Orchard Press has been committed to developing a vibrant and strong company culture. This success is a testament to the ongoing hard work and dedication shown in every aspect of health and safety”.

“Achieving the H&S seal of excellence from the BPIF is a real accomplishment for Orchard Press I was guided and helped through all the processes and paperwork by Josh in a timely and efficient manner. Here at Orchard Press we take the health and safety of our team very important, so it was a personal interest to me to get this over the line. I would have never been able to achieve this without their help. This creates a benchmark to set our sights on each year.” Jason Grubb, Director at Orchard Press  

Josh Thomas, Regional HS&E Adviser at the BPIF added, “Its an honour to award Orchard Press with the Health and Safety Seal of Excellence, since first meeting Jason and the team their enthusiasm to continuously improve is evident and this was key to the work we collectively put in to ensure that Orchard Press continue to advocate the positive effects of a good health and safety culture. Not to forget that the organisation is second to none”
