Improving Health and Safety “We Will Work Safely or Not At All” is the Skanska Safety Mantra. Safety targets are agreed at the beginning of each year, which when achieved will help us towards the goal of a zero accident culture. Safety Week Skanska Safety Week ran from 3rd to 9th November 2008, alongside European Safety Week. This year’s theme was "Planning Prevents Accidents". We held demonstrations, safety quizzes, scaffold inspection competitions, extra safety briefings etc. The Highways Agency gave us exclusive use of their brand new H&S training vehicle. The mobile training centre was used to deliver sessions at M1 J6a-10, ODA Lot 1, A2 Pepperhill and DLR Stratford. am I safe The @one alliance have introduced am I safe cards to increase personal safety awareness and to help reduce accidents. Based on our PREP cards, before starting a task, a designated person uses the card as a prompt to look around and consider what the job entails. When the task is finished, or the day is over, they make the site safer before they leave. Completed cards are analysed by the site manager. Calendar Competition As part of Skanska Safety Week, we held a drawing competition open to the families of our employees. The artistic talents of the youngsters will help to keep our core values: safety in the workplace and sustainable working practices at the forefront of everyone's minds. Above is one of the 12 winning pictures that were chosen to feature in the Skanska 2009 EHS Calendar. Behavioural Based Safety We continue to target improving safe behaviours using the following processes: • SSPS – Site Safety Performance System • VOICE – Views of Operatives In the Construction Environment • Near Miss Reporting • PREP – Personal Risk Evaluation Process • ZAF – Zero Accident Forum 1,000,000 man hours worked without Lost Time Injury Safety Training Our strong focus on providing safety training persists.
