The hotly contested honour is awarded to the company that has taken the greatest strides in improving the safety of its worksite – from installing new equipment to implementing new procedures.

Last year, the international drinks manufacturer was a highly commended finalist in the category.

Not satisfied with a runner up slot, those responsible for forklift safety redoubled their efforts to safeguard both staff and site visitors. Their achievements saw them become this year’s stand-out winner.

Indeed, the company entered not one, but three different safety projects for the expert panel’s consideration.

Through the “Perfect Forklift Experience” Heineken’s Hereford Cider Mills factory has increased safety and reduced damage across its forklift fleet.
