Focus On
Over the last few months we have been working hard to communicate our safety strategy to all employees. We have used John Kotter’s book, “Our Iceberg is Melting” as an analogy to underpin our core message - that in an ever-changing business environment we must continually improve our performance, if we’re to continue being successful. The new strategy focuses on clearly stating our standards and expectations and keeping health and safety front of mind in all business activities. As a result, we have developed a complete set of personal safety standards and every employee has a copy of the standard relating to their role within the Company. The Personal Safety Standards set out the Company’s expectation of colleagues in their day to day work and are supported by a set of Operational Safety Standards. Each Operational Safety Standard focuses on the minimum standard for a specific task or activity. These are being issued to employees as they are introduced and will be the basis against which our Safety Advisers will audit site and office activity. The strategy also aims to bring everyone to the same view that if a job cannot be done safely, then we will not do it. It’s a simple, but critical message which underpins our vision of achieving zero injuries in our workplace and our view that safety is of equal importance to cost and production. As we continue to build on the strategy, we expect to gain recognition for the work we’re doing. We’re currently working towards OHSAS 18001 and we hope to gain accreditation later in 2008, which will add to our list of other recognised health and safety accreditations. |
