Providing the best working environment and safest practices in the sector.

We’re committed to ensuring the physical and mental health, safety and wellbeing of our people and stakeholders. It’s central to everything we do.

We’re proud of our industry-leading injury and accident record, as well as the steps we’ve taken to improve wellbeing in every sense, and to cultivate a healthy, happy workforce.

We’re Safer Together

ZERO HARM CAMPAIGN

Our drive towards a Zero Harm culture is underpinned by our ‘We’re Safer Together’ campaign – an award-winning engagement and learning programme, launched in 2016.

Since then our safety metrics have shown significant and major improvements with our accident frequency rate down 71%, and our lost time injury rate down 77% over the period.

Every mind matters. Mental health is as important as physical health

Every mind matters

Mental health in the workplace matters just as much as physical health. We have developed and implemented initiatives that promote positive wellbeing for staff, from providing excellent employee benefits to building on employee resilience.

Our trained Mental Health First Aiders listen and provide support to struggling colleagues dealing with issues such as depression, bereavement, financial difficulties, anxiety, stress, personal relationships, domestic abuse and suicidal thoughts. 

We promote campaigns to improve everyone’s wellbeing and work-life balance, as well as raising awareness of mental health and suicide prevention, and reducing stress and fatigue.
