We underwent a detailed, quantified and objective evaluation of our occupational health and safety management system. The audit measured our performance against a number of key best practice indicators, and achieved the highest available rating.

 

The British Safety Council’s Five Star Occupational Health and Safety Audit provides organisations with a worldwide benchmark of their safety management systems against current best practice to enable continual improvement. The audit specification was revised in 2016 to include five best practice indicators – leadership, stakeholder engagement, risk management, organisational health and safety culture and continual improvement – which are continually assessed throughout the audit process.

 

The assessment of the three sites was part of a Unipart Group-wide assessment by the BSC, in which all 14 assessed sites received the five star rating - an amazing achievement for the Group.

 

The award will be celebrated at the British Safety Council Winter Awards Presentation ceremony on 1st December in London.

 

In the meantime, we are moving forward to gain the prestigious Swords of Honour for the sites - with the results expected during Rail Safety Week!
