Awarded for its employee-centred approach to workplace safety in 2025, Primeline Group secured the Health & Safety Team of the Year – Large at the Health & Safety Excellence Awards 2025, distinguished for implementing a confidential whistleblowing system that empowers staff to raise concerns without fear of reprisal.

The initiative centres on a confidential whistleblowing email monitored by an independent third-party provider, creating a secure channel for employees to voice safety concerns, report incidents, or flag potential risks. This externally managed system removes barriers to reporting and ensures that sensitive matters are handled with appropriate oversight and independence.

By establishing this framework, Primeline Group has strengthened organisational transparency and reinforced trust across all levels of its workforce. The system supports early identification of safety issues while demonstrating visible commitment to employee wellbeing and psychological safety. This approach acknowledges that effective safety management depends on open communication and the willingness of staff to speak up when issues arise.

Judges commended the company's proactive investment in employee support systems. "Primeline Group's confidential whistleblowing email, monitored by a third-party provider, ensures employees feel safe and supported in their workplace. This initiative fosters transparency and trust, empowering staff to voice concerns without fear. The judges praised its positive impact on employee morale and organizational integrity," the panel said.

The achievement reflects rising standards across the Health & Safety Excellence Awards, where organisations are increasingly distinguished by their commitment to psychological safety, governance structures, and systems that enable honest dialogue. Primeline Group's success demonstrates how procedural innovation can strengthen both safety outcomes and organisational culture.

Who will set the benchmark for team-based safety excellence in 2026? A few weeks from now, finalists for the Health & Safety Excellence Awards will be announced on 26 February, ahead of the awards gala on 30 April 2026.
