Health management
As part of our commitment to sustainable development, we take a proactive approach to supporting our employees to keep as healthy and as fit as possible. We also have taken active steps to ensure that workplace related injury and disease is kept at a minimum.
How we manage health in the workplace
Our Occupational Health Strategy is to reduce the level of occupational illness across our businesses and to put in place risk assessment and risk management programmes. Through this strategy, we have:
- Made preventing occupational illness as much a value as safety
- Improved the accuracy of reporting of new cases of occupational illness
- Encouraged our sites' managers to be more involved and proactive in workplace monitoring by giving them better information.
To implement this strategy, we have put in place two programmes: the Occupational Health Standards programme and set performance targets.
In addition to these, we have recognised the importance of, and are working towards achieving, a good work/life balance which is good for both our employees and the company's long term health and sustainability.
