We promote a safety culture across all our activities. We set annual targets. for reductions in accident injury rates, time lost associated with injury and work-related illness and for senior management inspections on site, as well as health & safety audit scores. On our sites, managers have the responsibility of delivering health & safety. They are fully trained and use systems that help deal with the range of risks. They are also supported. by a team of full-time health and safety professionals including specialists in occupational health.
We run programs on health and safety competence for our employees, using our in-house specialists as well as external providers. Everyone is encouraged to take proactive action to address unsafe work practices.
Across the whole JS Electrical Team, senior staff are appointed with responsibility for health and safety in each division and these ‘safety champions’ review performance and guide the strategy for continual improvement.
