Bostik Industries Limited is committed to maintaining the highest practicable standards of safe working conditions and minimising the risk of accidents and ill health in the workplace.
A comprehensive Health and Safety management system has been introduced, which ensures that all operations are in compliance with regulatory requirements and are aligned to the TOTAL safety policy and charter.
Reportable accident levels have continued to fall over the last 10 years.
In addition three drivers contribute to our continuous safety improvement culture:
- Communication of our system and other requirements, so that everyone can accept that accidents and incidents are preventable events using a plan of structured safety meetings, poster campaigns and newsletters.
- Identifying and monitoring our problems and taking appropriate corrective action, including auditing, structured risk assessment and accident and near miss investigation.
- Employee training in general job requirements and specific Health and Safety topics.
