www.balfourbeatty.co.uk KEY HAZARDS To achieve our aim of operating with no harm to our workers or the public, our operating companies each have an annual Safety Plan and Safety Targets. Determining key safety issues This incorporates the operating company response to corporate objectives and also addresses its own specific safety issues, which are determined by risk assessment and by analysing its own accident record. During 2007, we continued to focus on four key areas: leadership / engaging our workforce; designing for safety; public health and safety; and occupational health. These focus areas are supported by robust management systems and procedures and operating companies’ health and safety plans are expected to reflect these areas. Leadership / engaging our workforce Like many companies, we find that achieving ever better safety performance requires more than robust safety management systems. Case studies about safety and health management Read case studies about how we manage safety and health issues across the group. Read case studies here over 3m man hours worked on Heathrow Terminal 5 with zero reportable accidents 31% below HSE construction injury rate for reported injuries We have therefore continued to adopt a range of safety leadership and behavioural safety approaches to encourage a positive safety culture. These aim to demonstrate visibly our management commitment to safety, to show real leadership, and to engage all employees. By adopting this inclusive approach, we hope to make safe working practices the norm, and to progressively eliminate the acceptance of unsafe behaviour. We include sub-contractors in our approach, and are often involved in clients' programmes for behavioural safety too. To demonstrate that safety really starts at the top, Managing Directors and senior managers in all of our companies give safety a high profile and visit sites regularly. At Balfour Beatty Construction an Operations Director jointly presents the annual health and safety update training. Other operating company Managing Directors review significant incidents as they occur and ensure that their Regional Directors brief the lessons learnt directly to employees. In 2007 operating companies have further developed their programmes that demonstrate visible safety leadership. To give them an identity these programmes are themed with titles such as “Whatever it takes”, “Be Sure Be Safe”, “Safe on Sight” and “MAD on Safety”. A number of our operating companies have been involved in customer led behavioural safety programmes. At Heathrow Terminal 5, the Incident and Injury Free (IIF) campaign was seen as instrumental in helping the project achieve 18 reporting periods of one million man hours worked, including three periods of two million man hours worked without a reportable accident. Public safety Many of our businesses have an increasingly close interface with the general public. We are aware of our responsibilities to operate so as to ensure their safety. For example our highways, railways, hospitals, schools and utility sectors continue to operate in close proximity to the public. Once again in 2007, we have identified our principal public risks as road traffic accidents, railway design and installation, excavations in public places, working adjacent to the public in occupied buildings, and working in live schools and hospitals. During 2007, 185 (144 in 2006) injuries to members of the public as a result of our works were reported by operating companies. Public Risks are identified in Live Risk Registers, communicated throughout stages of the project, highlighted in risk assessments and monitored through audits, regular safety inspections and Safety Tours.
