Applauded for its exemplary approach to workplace safety in 2025, Tirlán secured the Health & Safety Excellence Award – Food & Beverage at the Health & Safety Excellence Awards 2025, recognised for embedding a strong, organisation-wide safety culture across all levels of its operations.

Operating across multiple sites and processes, Tirlán prioritised the implementation of structured health and safety systems that engage employees, management, and contractors alike. The initiative focuses on continuous improvement, open communication, and proactive risk management, ensuring that safety is a core value in daily operations.

Central to Tirlán’s success is its integration of active workforce participation and leadership involvement. Employees are empowered to identify risks and share insights, while senior management provides visible support and accountability. This dual approach reinforces a culture of shared responsibility, enabling measurable improvements in operational safety and employee wellbeing.

Judges highlighted the company’s comprehensive and forward-thinking approach. “Tirlán impressed our panel with its consistent commitment to workplace safety across all levels of the organisation. Their proactive engagement, willingness to learn from both successes and challenges, and focus on continuous improvement set a high benchmark for the food and beverage sector,” the panel said.

The recognition reflects the evolving standards of the Health & Safety Excellence Awards, where organisations are celebrated for creating robust safety frameworks and fostering a culture of accountability and care. Tirlán’s achievement illustrates how leadership, staff engagement, and structured processes can deliver tangible, lasting improvements in high-risk operational environments.
