Arnold Clark is the first and only automotive company to have been awarded the Five Star Health and Safety Audit Award by the British Safety Council. The motoring giant that repair rent and sell new and used cars won the coveted award following a rigorous inspection.
The comprehensive safety evaluation from world class auditors gives organisations star ratings ndash; from one to five ndash; to indicate the effectiveness of their safety programmes. Action plans are provided which aim to help companies reduce their insurance premiums and increase repeat business from customers.
Sir Arnold Clark said I am absolutely delighted to accept the Five Star Health and Safety Award on behalf of all the Arnold Clark employees. It is a testament to the dedication and hard work that our employees demonstrate to ensure that we maintain a safe working environment.;
Brian Nimick Chief Executive of the British Safety Council says: A positive company image through firstclass health and safety is vital. It not only makes excellent business sense to have the safest workplace possible but it also boosts the morale of employees.
I hope other companies will take the lead from Arnold Clark Automobiles Limited and forge the way towards a safer future with a Five Star award.;
