ISS Receives highest accolade from RoSPA for Technical Services

The plaudit is given in the annual internationally-recognised award from the Royal Society for Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA)  for demonstrating high health and safety standards for its Technical Services delivery to clients and stakeholders.

Declan Clarke, managing director of ISS Technical Services, said: “I am absolutely proud and humbled to be part of such an amazing team with a track record of safety excellence. It’s wonderful that this has been recognised for an 11^th time by RoSPA.”

Gold medals, president’s awards, orders of distinction and the Patron’s Award are presented to organisations sustaining the high standards of the gold level over consecutive years.
