The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) has named St Edward as Winner of the Construction Housebuilding & Property Development Industry Sector at its 2021 Health & Safety Awards.
This is the third consecutive year of winning the award for Berkeley St Edward, celebrating its outstanding performance in health and safety during construction. Entrants must be able to demonstrate a robust and high-quality safety management system, together with a minimum of four years' consistently excellent or continuously improving performance on its sites.
Berkeley Capital was also Highly Commended in the same category for the second consecutive year, and Berkeley Oxford & Chiltern received a Gold Award for its safety performance.
