RHINO ARK BENEFITS FROM HIGH SPEED 1 HEALTH & SAFETY INITIATIVE
Today Thursday 9 July The Rhino Ark charity received £3500 thanks to safe working practices demonstrated by staff at HS1 Ltd. Construction and maintenance workers on the Brill Place site near St Pancras International - formerly the site of the High Speed 1 project offices - recently achieved the milestone of 400,000 hours worked without a serious accident.
Under a High Speed 1 scheme to reward safe working practices, HS1 and contractors Spie Matthew Hall, Volker Fitzpatrick and John Stacey donated £3500 to Rhino Ark at a ceremony in St Pancras International.
Rhino Ark raises money for the building of the one of the world's largest eco-fences at 400 Km long, designed to fence in Kenya’s Aberdare National Park and surrounding indigenous State forest land, now known as the Abedare Conservation Area. This 2000 km2 area provides a safety "ark" for endangered species, such as rhino and bongo, protects the farming communities and their crops that border the fence and preserves one of Africa's greatest eco-systems.
The cheque was presented to Guy Tritton, Rhino Ark by Danny Stephens of Spie Matthew Hall, Steve Webber of Volker Fitzpatrick and Andrew Stoner of John Stacey and High Speed 1 Director Kit Kaberry at a ceremony at St Pancras International.
