Local authority wins health and safety praise for continuous improvementContinuous improvement has led to a local authority winning a second accolade for health and safety.

The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) recognised South Derbyshire District Council with a gold award in May and has now given it the Best New Entry title for 2011.

A total of 180 entrants were narrowed down to five and judges were impressed with the authority's health and safety management systems, accident records and workforce involvement - making it the unanimous choice from the shortlist.

The prize is to be presented next month and awards manager at RoSPA David Rawlins stated: "Organisations that have demonstrated their commitment to continuous improvement in accident and ill health prevention deserve recognition."

Earlier this month, Sherwood Forest Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust in Nottinghamshire noted continuous improvement policies had helped reduce cases of MRSA, having reached a landmark of 500 days without any cases of the infection.ADNFCR-3058-ID-800702183-ADNFCR
