Safety milestone for Sellafield Ltd
Sellafield Ltd has now achieved more than 2 million man hours worked without a lost time accident.
Employing some 10,000 people, the company is responsible for delivering decommissioning, reprocessing, nuclear waste management and fuel manufacturing activities across three sites – Sellafield, Capenhurst and Risley.
Safety is a key value at Sellafield Ltd and the company recently launched a safety initiative - the Peer to Peer Observation programme designed to improve safety across the business.
Fundamentally about stopping employees from getting hurt, the programme is about looking after each other, observing behaviours, praising positive safety and helping people to understand the potential consequence of at-risk behaviours.
Environment Health Safety and Quality Director Fran Williams congratulated the Sellafield Ltd workforce on achieving the safety milestone stating: “This represents a significant achievement for Sellafield Ltd. I am pleased that fewer of our co-workers are sustaining injuries at work that prevent them from coming to work.
“It also indicates that an injury free work place is possible. I encourage all of our folks to continue to stay focused on the task at hand, participate in the Peer to Peer Observation process, and become knowledgeable of and use human performance tools.
“Let's go for the next two million!”
