UK: CIS Receives Prestigious RoSPA Gold Award

Conductor Installation Services Ltd (CIS), an Acteon company, announced an historic HSE milestone for the company: six years without a single accident or incident resulting in a Lost Time Incident (LTI). As a result, for the second consecutive year CIS received the prestigious Gold Award for Occupational Health and Safety 2011 from the UK’s Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA).

CIS, a member of Acteon’s Conductors, Risers and Flowlines division, provides conductor installation services associated with construction projects carried out in the global oil and gas industry. These services are carried out both onshore and offshore to, for example, create foundations for new wells, platforms, bridges and jetties.

The RoSPA Awards criteria includes not only accident records, but the entrant’s overall health and safety management systems, recognising important practices such as strong leadership and workforce involvement. For CIS, this means its personnel exhibit solid teamwork, a high level of safety awareness and implementation of rigorous HSE standards.

In recognition of this outstanding achievement, Andy Penman, Group Managing Director of CIS, was presented the award by Eric Clark, RoSPA Trustee at the RoSPA Occupational Health & Safety Awards Ceremony in Birmingham earlier this month.

Upon receiving the award Penman said, “Considering that we sometimes work in hostile or hazardous environments around the world, this is a significant achievement. I would like to extend my thanks to every employee, without whose continued vigilance, safe working practices, and attention to all safety procedures, this achievement would not have been possible,” he added.

Commitment to Safety Pays Off

CIS’s commitment to the highest levels of Quality, Health, Safety & Environment standards has helped the company to earn ISO 9001:2000 and ISO 14001 accreditations, as well as the highly sought after OHSAS 18001:2007. This latest award from RoSPA confirms the company’s dedication to safety.

“In just six years since the company was formed, CIS has been committed to building a reputation for excellent safety management. This second Gold Award in two years is testament to the serious attention that they – and all of our Group companies – apply to Health and Safety both on and offshore,” said Kevin Burton – Executive Vice President, Risk & HSE for the Acteon Group.

The range of services provided by CIS supports the Acteon Group’s commitment to linking subsea services across a range of interconnected disciplines.
