Health

The health of our people and everybody that works for us is vitally important and we take a proactive stance to continuously improve our health and safety performance across the business.

We aim to maintain a fit and healthy workforce by:

  • Eliminating ill-health at work 
  • Minimising radiation doses 
  • Encouraging our employees to balance their work and home life 
  • Learning lessons from events, implement corrective actions and seek out and use good practice

Working with the support of professional medical advice, managers across the business are trained to identify hazards and carry out risk assessments to identify specialist needs such as occupational hygiene, ergonomic assessments and medical surveillance. Managers are also trained to identify and mitigate unacceptable levels of stress. We also run training for individuals across the business on stress awareness and coping strategies.

We promote health improvement everywhere through our well-person screening programme and campaigns on healthy eating and exercise. All locations have appropriate drugs and alcohol testing regimes and support is given where possible to employees who wish to stop smoking.
