Our aim is to maintain safe and healthy workplaces, taking a preventative approach by operating safe working practices to protect our clients, employees and the public.
Health and safety is a top priority for Stobbarts. Not only do we operate in a business sector with a high rate of accidents and injury, we also work in a number of safety critical environments within the nuclear industry. Strict adherence to our health and safety policy and all related procedures is expected of every employee.
Our health and safety programme is designed to encourage a culture that recognises that maintaining safe and healthy workplaces is crucial to our success. This behaviour-based approach places employees at the centre of managing health and safety by recognising that each individual has a key role to play in protecting their own wellbeing. Our programme was further enhanced when we achieved certification to the occupational health and safety standard: OHSAS18001.
