Moving and lifting loads is what we do. Making the Safe Choice is our commitment to the safety of our people, our customers and members of the public. It is our guiding principle which defines how we deliver safely.
While safety has always been the focus of the company’s operations, Making the Safe Choice builds on and develops further the safety culture we have established over the years. Make the Safe Choice, following a safe system of work, understanding potential dangers, identifying them and responding appropriately. If we are ever in doubt, we stop and make the safe choice about what we do. It recognises that we all share a collective responsibility for the safety of everybody engaged in our operations.
We would like to build a culture of safe practice that engages all of our team and is valued by our customers. Near miss reporting is key to us in achieving these objectives. We actively encourage staff to report near misses – in confidence if necessary – via a number of methods.
More than anything we care for everybody’s wellbeing, to be Safe, work Safe and get home Safe.
