Our Health and Safety Stand Down Day 2024
On the 16th January, we held our annual health and safety stand down day which included a variety of health and safety topics, including:
- The introduction to the use of guarded blades across the business
- Control of noise & the safe transit and storage of batteries toolbox talks
- Guest Speaker – Steve from ToughToTalk who gave a very powerful insight into mental health and lone working
In the afternoon, Claire Mcfarlane (Head of Business Compliance), provided a ‘What’s your Why’ workshop, where we discussed the importance of safety, asked ourselves why we work safely, and discussed behavioural safety and how different attitudes and behaviours on an hourly, daily, weekly, monthly basis can determine how safety conscious we are when working.
We ended the day with compiling videos and photos of our teams giving their reasons as to why they work safely – which overwhelmingly was to see their families at the end of each day.
