MSC Industrial Supply Co UK’s Warehouse Team Wins ‘Health and Safety Team of the Year’ at 2025 Health and Safety Awards

MSC Industrial Supply Co UK (MSC), a leading distributor of cutting tools, safety products, and general consumables, is proud to announce that its warehouse team has been awarded the prestigious ‘Health and Safety Team of the Year’ title at the 2025 Health and Safety Awards. The award recognises businesses, professionals, and initiatives committed to improving workplace safety and employee wellbeing.

MSC’s warehouse team stood out for its exceptional dedication to health and safety, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to creating a safer and more sustainable working environment. This recognition comes after the implementation of several key health and safety initiatives over the past 12 months, which have significantly enhanced operational efficiency and customer service.

The award-winning team re-evaluated its approach to health and safety and collaborated closely with employees to foster a culture where safety is a core value that guides all decisions and actions. Daily team briefings, leadership-led warehouse walk-arounds, end-of-shift clean-ups, and continuous training on safety practices became integral parts of the team’s operations.

As a result, MSC saw a dramatic reduction in near misses, leading to improved employee wellbeing and morale. This focus on safety and efficiency has also translated into a noticeable improvement in operational performance, with more orders being processed and dispatched the same day, ensuring next-day delivery to customers.

Jane Hollis, Health, Safety, and Wellbeing Manager at MSC, commented, “These initiatives have made a significant impact on the safety and confidence of our team. With fewer near misses, our warehouse colleagues feel safer and more supported in their roles, which has directly contributed to improved productivity and service levels.”

MSC has long prioritised health and safety, and this award is a testament to its dedication. As a registered safety supplier with the British Safety Industry Federation (BSIF), MSC guarantees its customers access to high-quality, certified products and expert safety advice.

Ms Hollis continued, “We are thrilled to have been named ‘Health and Safety Team of the Year.’ This recognition is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our warehouse team. Safety is central to everything we do, and we are proud that this commitment is reflected in both the wellbeing of our team and the quality of service we provide to our customers.”
