Douglas OHI LLC has been awarded the RoSPA Fleet Safety Gold Award for its performance in managing occupational road risk across its operations in 2025. The recognition forms part of the 2026 RoSPA Health and Safety Awards, marking 70 years of global leadership in safety excellence.
The award specifically recognises Douglas OHI’s structured and data-driven approach to fleet risk, an area that remains one of the most dynamic and high-exposure aspects of project delivery. With vehicles, people and logistics constantly in motion, the company has prioritised building a system that does not rely on reactive controls, but instead anticipates, monitors and mitigates risk in real time.
Now in its 45th year of operations, Douglas OHI continues to evolve its approach to safety, with a clear focus on managing high-exposure risks such as fleet operations. This approach integrates driver behaviour, journey planning, vehicle condition and live oversight into a single operational framework, ensuring that safety is actively managed rather than passively measured.
Commenting on the achievement, Mr. Aaron Hennessy, Group Managing Director of Douglas OHI, said: “Fleet safety is one of the most complex risks we manage as a business. It sits at the intersection of people, environment and operational pressure. This recognition reflects our ability to bring structure, visibility and control to that complexity. It is about ensuring that safety holds firm, regardless of scale, pace or location.”
Peter Baker, Regional HSSE Manager at Douglas OHI, added: “This award reflects a deliberate shift towards precision in how we manage road risk. We have focused on strengthening the fundamentals, improving visibility and reinforcing behaviours that reduce exposure. It is not a single initiative, but a system that is consistently applied and continuously improved across our operations.”
The RoSPA Awards are widely regarded as a benchmark for organisations that demonstrate measurable impact in health and safety performance. Achieving recognition in the programme’s 70th anniversary year highlights the relevance of robust, modern safety systems in an evolving risk landscape.
For Douglas OHI, the focus remains clear: to maintain control in high-risk environments and ensure that safety performance is predictable, repeatable and embedded in everyday delivery.
