DLF is the first and only real estate organization in the world (in office complex infrastructure development and operation) to be awarded this prestigious Safety Excellence Award so far from British Safety Council.
The 2015 Sword of Honour scheme was open to specific business units and sites that achieved a Five Star grating in 5-Star Occupational Health and Safety Audit between 1 August 2014 and 31 July 2015. The outcome (score) of the 5-Star Audit was directly linked to the Sword of Honour process with a maximum 40% of marks (dependent upon audit score) awarded to each application.
The award ceremony will be held on at Drapers’ Hall in the City of London on Friday 27 November 2015.
The British Safety Council’s “Sword of Honour” along with 5-Star OH&S audit provides organizations with a benchmark of their safety management system against global best practices. The audit specifications were revised in 2013 to include performance measurements in additional safety management indicators (Leadership and Continuous Improvement) which are continually assessed, alongside other indicators, throughout the audit process.
