Thirteenth consecutive gold in health and safety excellence
A ROTHERHAM-BASED mechanical seal manufacturer’s ongoing commitment to health and safety has been endorsed with a 13th consecutive gold accolade in the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents’ 70th anniversary awards.
The RoSPA President’s Gold Award has been granted to AESSEAL in recognition of its exceptional health and safety performance during 2025.
AESSEAL managing director Chris Rea said: “Thirteen consecutive golds are testament to the company’s commitment to keeping its employees safe.
“This is a landmark year for RoSPA and we are proud to be part of a legacy built on dedication to high safety standards, the well being of individuals and a shared commitment to excellence.”
The awards began as a small event to recognise the achievements of companies prioritising worker safety in the UK, and has now grown into the biggest health and safety awards programme in the world, with 2,000 different entries from almost 60 countries, impacting more than seven million employees.
RoSPA growth director Julia Small said: “The high standards AESSEAL has achieved are the result of hard work and dedication, of which AESSEAL should be rightfully proud and which RoSPA is delighted to honour.
“2026 is a landmark year for the RoSPA Awards as we reflect on how far workplace safety has come in 70 years.
“It is because of the commitment of health and safety leaders like AESSEAL that people today are safer at work than in the past, and sets an inspiring example for the future.”
The award will be presented at a ceremony in London on June 30.
