FGI wins major safety awards.
A radical rethink of the health and safety culture at Float Glass Industries
(FGI) has been undertaken, and this has been rewarded with the company
winning all three categories it entered at the Glass Charter Health & Safety
Awards 2004 at the British Glass Annual Health & Safety Conference in
November. Manchester-based FGI won Best Safety Improvement, Best Health & Safety Professional for Ron Hindle, H&S Manager and Best Nominated Director for Health & Safety for Mike Thompson.
The change has been brought about since 2001, when the Directors of Float
Glass Industries recognised that its record was not as good as it should
have been, and in less than two years it has become a shining example of howsafety procedures should be implemented in a potentially hazardous industry. In fact, it has been so successful that the Health & Safety Executive is now citing Float Glass Industries as a model for other companies to follow.
The Glass Charter Health & Safety Awards are organised by the British Glass Manufacturers’ Confederation.
