Safety week expands

Our annual health and safety awareness event was expanded from one week to three to reach more people face-to-face across the business.

The event ran from mid-September and featured site-based training for responsible managers at 18 locations delivered by the sustainability department. The half-day sessions covered the launch of LOTOTO (lock out, tag out and try out), guarding training, voluntary personal health checks from health surveillance provider IDC, and presentations by our PPE and workwear supplier.

“The change in format followed feedback from last year’s event, which relied heavily on conference calls,” said head of sustainability Paul Lacey. “It was supported by podcasts, booklets and interactive presentations to ensure the message could be spread as widely as possible.” An enhanced ‘Be safe and healthy at home’ website, which puts work practices to good use in the home, was re-launched as part of the event.
