WJ Group has been announced winner of the ‘Excellence in Safety Innovation Award’ at the Highways England virtual awards event. The “Robotic age dawns for the road markings sector”submission featured the WJ Robotic PreMarker highlighting the huge health, safety and wellbeing benefits provided by eliminating risks and protecting vulnerable operatives.
This latest Highways England accolade for WJ follows on from last year’s prestigious Championing Safety Award win for ‘Transforming Roadmarking Sector Safety Standards’.
The awards highlight WJ’s ambition, collaboration, and constant drive to evolve and improve safety standards within the roadmarking sector and recognise their excellence in safety and thought leadership.
Craig Williams, WJ Group Health & Safety Director commented “Our sector demands change, and we decided some time ago that ‘good enough was just not good enough’. For us it is a continuous journey driven by innovative thinking and behavioural change. To put it mildly, we are immensely proud that our efforts have been recognised at the highest level, and the award will encourage us to do more.”
The Highways England Awards scheme is designed to reflect on accomplishments, celebrate the absolute best achievements and share examples of excellence across the industry. WJ are also delighted to be included within the Delivery category as finalists for their submission ‘Exceptional Approach to Sustainable Service Delivery.’
