Chubb should rightly be proud of its achievement.” “To be recognised for this award places great emphasis on the lengths that we as a company go to in ensuring our staff are given a safe environment to work efficiently and effectively,” said Mark Redding, Senior EH&S Manager, Chubb Fire & Security.
