2006 Building Magazine Award: Best Occupational Health Initiative
WINNER: BROWN AND MASON
The judges awarded this prize to Brown and Mason for showing the initiative to set up a partnership with an occupational health specialist to safeguard its workers. One of the UK's largest demolition contractors with 150 staff across the UK, this firm joined forces with health and safety consultant Building Health in March 2005, and created a team of health and safety professionals.

This crack unit revitalised the bog-standard statutory medicals and launched a comprehensive occupational health service that includes thorough health assessments for each worker. Last year it found 10% of operatives needed referring to their GP, one-third failed the eye test and 40% required ear syringing. The personal health benefits of this screening, as well as the safety benefits on site, are enormous.
