The prestigious Scottish Chamber of Safety Lord Cullen Safety Award 2000 has gone to Scafftag of Barry, south Wales, for their Safetrak system.
Scottish Chamber of Safety's David McGingal said the intention behind the award was to encourage research and development and highlight outstanding ideas which when put into practice make a great contribution to industrial safety. He said of the award winner: "The judges were most impressed with the innovative aspects of Safetrak."
