Setting the Standard in the Middle East

Joseph Gallagher Middle East has been honoured with a prestigious RoSPA Gold Award in recognition of outstanding health and safety performance for the period January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024. This independent achievement highlights the team’s unwavering commitment to creating a safe and healthy working environment across all regional operations.

Presented by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), the award reinforces Joseph Gallagher’s reputation as a leader in health and safety, not just in the UK but also on a global stage.

Regional Excellence Driven by Global Values

This milestone demonstrates how the Joseph Gallagher Group’s core safety values and strategic vision are being effectively implemented and upheld across the Middle East. The regional team’s proactive initiatives, rigorous training, and unwavering focus on hazard prevention have delivered exemplary results on some of the most technically demanding infrastructure projects in the area.

Mathew Beechey, Group SHEQT Manager, remarked:

“This RoSPA Gold Award for our Middle East operations is a tremendous accomplishment and a powerful reflection of our global safety culture. It validates the team’s dedication to embedding safety into every aspect of delivery—ensuring that high-risk environments are managed with precision, care, and accountability.”

LIFE Programme Celebrates a Decade of Impact

A key driver behind this award is the enduring success of LIFE (Living Incident Free Everyday), Joseph Gallagher’s internal safety culture programme. Now marking its 10th anniversary, LIFE continues to shape behaviours and expectations across the organisation. In the Middle East, the programme has fostered a culture of personal responsibility, teamwork, and continual improvement—hallmarks of a truly world-class safety environment.

A Benchmark for the Region

Julia Small, RoSPA’s Growth Director, shared:

“This accolade recognises the Joseph Gallagher Middle East team’s remarkable efforts to reduce risk and prioritise the wellbeing of their people. It serves as a benchmark not only within the organisation but also across the wider construction and infrastructure sectors in the region.”
