July Winner: Wayne Rodway – Retail Department

This month’s INTOHEAT Safety Recognition Award was an easy decision for the panel, as Wayne Rodway, Retail Project Manager, demonstrated exceptional attention to detail and commitment to safety.

While reviewing a survey report from one of our subcontractors, Wayne noticed an unterminated cable visible in one of the photographs, something that could have easily gone unnoticed. Taking swift action, Wayne arranged for the contractors to return to site on 9th July to trace the cable and determine whether it was live.

When the source of the cable could not be identified, Wayne ensured that warning signage was installed and that both the store manager and maintenance department were immediately informed to mitigate any potential risk.

In addition, Wayne encouraged the subcontractor to formally report the near miss via our QR code system, ensuring both the client and INTOHEAT were notified. His proactive response not only reinforced our safety reporting culture but also prevented a member of staff from potentially coming into contact with a live electrical cable.

Wayne was presented with his award voucher by Shane Head, INTOHEAT’s Retail Director, who commended his vigilance and initiative.

Reflecting on the incident, Wayne said:

“I’m just really thankful I noticed the cable when I did. Hopefully this will prevent someone from getting injured in the future.”

Congratulations, Wayne, and thank you for upholding INTOHEAT’s commitment to safety and excellence on every project.

August Winner: Max Watkins

Our Safety Recognition Award winner for August 2025 is Max Watkins, Supervisor at Southmead Hospital.

On 18th August 2025, Max entered a bathroom pod within a single-occupancy private room and discovered two operatives (not employed by INTOHEAT) working above the pod area.

Recognising that no one should be working above a pod without appropriate safety measures, such as acro props for adequate support, Max immediately challenged the operatives for working unsafely. He also informed the Client and reported the incident through the INTOHEAT QR code system, ensuring full visibility of the potential hazard.

By reporting this observation and challenging their behaviour, he potentially prevented an accident from occurring.

Congratulations, Max, and thank you for upholding INTOHEAT’s safety standards and for leading by example on site.
