Health and Safety

We continue to promote the importance of health and safety in the workplace and encourage our employees to have healthy lifestyles. Our Health and Safety Committees at each of our sites arranged a variety of events throughout the year that included: quitting smoking, healthy eating and how to carry out a risk assessment. The Health and Safety Committees meet regularly to monitor performance and also encourage staff to participate and raise awareness across the Group.

Our revised 'Driving on Company Business' policy was implemented in August 2008. We are continuing to monitor and develop our processes in line with industry best practice. In December, our OHSAS 18001 management system was externally audited. Following the audit, the scope of the management system has been extended to include the Cardiff office and has also been certified to the OHSAS 18001 2007 standard.
