It gives me great pleasure to announce that the nomination submitted by Carrier Transicold United Kingdom has won the prestigious 2009 UTC EH&S Award for EH&S Innovation.

This unique safety harness system allows field service engineers to perform maintenance on truck mounted refrigeration units without compromising service time, quality or safety.

Awarded directly from the United Technologies EH&S team the brief for the UTC EH&S Innovation Award is "intended to encourage innovative solutions to the environmental, health or safety challenges faced by UTC business units. Intentionally broad in scope, this award will be given to the business unit that developed the most creative and effective environment, health or safety program, process, or system used to solve an unusually difficult environmental, health or safety challenge. The project may highlight a site-specific or regional solution and may be awarded as a partnership with a non-UTC entity such as a contractor or non-governmental organization."

Congratulations go to Ross Thomson Aftermarket Development Manager who spent a huge amount of time developing and deploying this system.
