More than a little short sighted
It is amazingly disappointing that an award like that can be given so soon after accidents that have resulted in multiple fatalities. It would be a real slap in the face for the families of those lost or injured in the recent accidents. The fact that this award has been made would appear to indicate that those accidents are normal and not worthy of consideration when making such awards
Perhaps EHL should have looked further afield to the sister company in Australia and the apparently toxic environment therein. From what I have heard the safety manager left in disgust and there remains a culture of blame even to the point that senior staff are accusing each other of setting each other up for incidents. That is not evidence of a healthy safety culture especially where the two companies apparently share and/or borrow senior management.
EHL may end up with egg on their face for giving this award if the organisation(s) doesn't learn from previous problems.
