Unipart Rail Achieves Highest Safety Accreditation

All our sites have successfully completed a best practice Five Star Occupational Health and Safety Audit conducted by the British Safety Council demonstrating our commitment towards the continual improvement of our health and safety management systems and associated arrangements.

We underwent a comprehensive, quantified and robust evaluation of our occupational health and safety policies, processes and practices. The audit process included documentation review, interviews with senior management, employees and other key stakeholders, together with sampling of operational activities.

The audit measured performance against key health and safety management best practice indicators and a detailed review of over sixty component elements.

We were awarded a five-star rating following the audit which is reflective of a best practice organisation.

David Parr, Head of Audit and Technical (SHE) Services at the British Safety Council, said: “The award of a five-star grading following our occupational best practice Health and Safety Audit is an outstanding achievement and is reflective of a proactive organisation which is committed to continual improvement in its health and safety arrangements and managing risks to workers’ health, safety and welfare.”

“Unipart Rail should be very proud of this achievement.”

Liz Hancock, Unipart Rail’s Head of Safety, Health and Environment said “We are thrilled to have achieved this level of grading. It reflects the hard work that we do every day to keep our colleagues safe at work. We are particularly pleased that the report stated that “The review and development of the standard operating procedures is an example of industry best practice” - a level we strive to achieve every day.

Adding Value with CSR, Safety, and Reduced Risk.
