DTS Awarded Prestigious Order Of Distinction By RoSPA


Leading offsite timber frame manufacturer, Donaldson Timber Systems (DTS), has been awarded the ‘Order of Distinction’ by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) after earning its 16th consecutive Gold Award.


The exclusive Order of Distinction recognises remarkable consistency in displaying the very highest levels of health and safety in the workplace for 16 consecutive years.


Now in its 69th year, the RoSPA Awards are the world’s largest health and safety awards programme, recognising those organisations and individuals who have set the highest standards in accident prevention.


Each RoSPA Award entrant is assessed against rigorous criteria, making DTS a world leader in shaping safer, healthier workplaces, and among a small number of industry leaders to achieve the Order of Distinction.


David Nimmo, Construction Director at Donaldson Timber Systems, said:

“Achieving 16 Gold Awards in a row is an outstanding achievement, which demonstrates our unwavering commitment to continuous improvement and excellence in health and safety. We’re honoured to be in the small number of industry leaders to achieve the Order of Distinction from such a prestigious organisation as RoSPA."

“As the leading manufacturer of timber frame across the UK, health and safety is fundamental to the success of our business. These awards are a recognition of the hard work and commitment our people put into looking out for each other, our supply chain and our customers. This is truly an award for every member of the team for their continued work in keeping us all safe.”


Julia Small, RoSPA’s Growth Director, said:

“Donaldson Timber Systems should be proud of the hard work and commitment to keeping people safe that has resulted in a RoSPA Award, which honours those organisations who have achieved the highest standards in health and safety in the workplace. RoSPA regards Donaldson Timber Systems as a strong example of the importance of making accident prevention central to any successful organisation, not just for the benefit of employees, customers and clients, but also society as a whole.”

Sponsored by the National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health (NEBOSH), the RoSPA Awards scheme is the longest-running of its kind in the UK, and receives entries from organisations across the globe, making it one of the most sought-after achievement awards for the health and safety industry.


Along with its health and safety credentials, DTS has achieved a range of third-party quality approvals, including BOPAS Plus, BBA, NHBC Accepts and STA Gold Assure, delivering the confidence that DTS products are durable and comply with building regulations and technical standards.


Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, DTS offers unrivalled experience and knowledge in offsite construction, operating from a network of manufacturing and technical centres across the UK.
