Kao Data awarded RoSPA Gold Award

London, United Kingdom, 26th May, 2026 – Kao Data, the specialist developer and operator of data centres engineered for AI and advanced computing, has today announced the company has achieved the RoSPA Gold Award for Health and Safety performance across 2025-2026.

The RoSPA Gold Award is a prestigious occupational health and safety award given by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA). It recognises organisations that demonstrate a very high standard of health and safety management, including strong safety policies and systems, leadership commitment to safety, workforce involvement, risk control and continuous improvement in workplace safety.

The award is part of the RoSPA Health and Safety Awards scheme, which is one of the longest-running and most respected safety award programmes in the UK and internationally.

Scott Manton, HSE Director at Kao Data commented: “To achieve Gold status in our very first year of submission is a truly outstanding accomplishment and one that reflects the dedication, professionalism, and commitment of teams across the entire business.”

“Over the past few years, we have worked hard to embed a culture of continuous improvement throughout Kao Data — creating an environment where health, safety, wellbeing, operational excellence, and learning are genuinely valued and championed at every level. This recognition is not the result of one individual or one team; it is the outcome of a collective commitment to doing things the right way, supporting one another, and striving to be better every single day.”

The award represents an important milestone in our journey as a company and as Kao Data continues to grow, maintaining high standards, strong governance, and a world-class operational environment will remain central to who we are as an organisation. 

Achievements like this help reinforce Kao Data’s collective ambition to be industry-leading in all that we do whether this is designing, constructing and engineering data centres for AI, pioneering sustainability improvements across our estate, or managing our health and safety processes.
