In addition, Balfour Beatty was named runner up in the 'Innovation Excellence' category for its remote-controlled inspection vehicle which enables operatives to conduct site and environmental inspections remotely.

Steve O'Sullivan, UK Head of Aviation at Balfour Beatty, said: "This is a fantastic achievement and I am delighted that we have been commended for our proactive approach to health, safety and wellbeing.

"These awards not only recognise our commitment to embedding new practices across our business but also to our people who work tirelessly to provide an exemplary service for our customers and the travelling public alike."
