Health and Safety
We endeavour to set the highest practical Health and Safety standards; as a minimum each Business Unit will always comply fully with its local statutory obligations and all employees are trained to recognise that the health and safety of themselves and others is their first priority.
All Business Units have a Health and Safety committee which meets regularly to discuss Health and Safety topics and concerns, make recommendations and implement and monitor any improvements or initiatives. Health and Safety issues and key measurements are also routinely reviewed and discussed at management meetings.
Current Health and Safety KPIs
• Number of days lost due to work related illnesses and workplace injuries
• Number of reportable accidents (RIDDOR) per month
• Number of self-reported injuries per month
• Number of near misses or dangerous occurrences per month
