Stephen Ashworth, NHBC Health and Safety Services Manager, said: “Now in its 10th year, this is the ultimate competition for house builders with exceptional health and safety standards. It’s been a fantastic year with a record number of entries, demonstrating house builders are committed to driving up safety standards, ensuring their colleagues are working in a safe environment.

“All of the competing sites were visited by NHBC Health and Safety advisors and scored to stringent standards. Winners demonstrated good health and safety practice is inextricably linked to good organisation, good quality and good customer service. To win an award at this level clearly shows commitment. We wish them the very best of luck in the next stage of
the competition.”
