Healthy Working Awards for Aker Solutions

Three divisions within the Aberdeen operation of global engineering and construction services group Aker Solutions have achieved a NHS Healthy Working Lives bronze award for their long term commitment to improving the health and well-being of staff.

Aker Offshore Partner Ltd, Aker Subsea Ltd and Aker MH (UK) Ltd received the award after developing an occupational health and safety action plan which encouraged staff to consider healthier food choices, raised awareness of their impact on the wider environment and provided health and safety training.

The Healthy Working Lives Award Programme is designed to improve health and wellbeing in the workplace, offering support to employers and employees to develop practical health promotion and safety themes in the workplace. The programme provides a step by step route to improving health at work, including healthy eating, health and safety awareness, supporting staff attendance and addressing mental health and wellbeing issues.

Alan Brunnen, managing director of Aker Solutions' subsea division, said, “We are delighted that our continued efforts to enhance the health, safety and well-being of staff has been recognised. Health and safety is of paramount importance to the oil and gas industry so receiving this award is a notable achievement.”
