Crest Nicholson’s BASE development in Brentwood has been shortlisted for a top award at the home building sector’s first ever awards for Health & Safety on building sites. Run by the National House-Building Council, the NHBC Health & Safety Awards offer builders the opportunity to share best practice, showcase excellence and celebrate the good work of their Health & Safety teams. John Spooner, Site Manager at BASE has been commended by the Council for his role in the site’s performance.
The awards consist of three categories, Best Site Awards, Company Recognition Awards and Special Awards. BASE has been shortlisted in the Best Site category and will now go on to be judged by an independent panel which will select the highly commended and winning entries. Crest Nicholson has had a record seven developments shortlisted, more than any other developer. The winners will be announced at the inaugural NHBC Health & Safety Awards Ceremony on the 21st May at the ICC in Birmingham.
John Spooner, Site Manager at Crest Nicholson’s BASE development, comments: “The safety of workers on all of our sites is of the upmost importance to Crest Nicholson and is something we take very seriously therefore it is very gratifying for our commitment to health and safety to be recognised. We are pleased that the NHBC has launched these awards which should help raise awareness of the importance of providing a safe working environment for employees in the building industry.”
