Zero Harm

Refusing to accept that accidents are inevitable in construction, Mansell has embraced the Zero Harm philosophy recently launched by our parent company Balfour Beatty.

Our target is to achieve Zero Harm across the company by 2012 and that means:

• Zero fatalities
• Zero injuries to the public
• Zero permanently disabling injuries
• No long term harm to health
• An Accident Frequency Rate (AFR) of less than 0.1 by end of 2012

Our approach will be to embed the Zero Harm principle in all our processes.

The crucial work we have already started on behavioural change, involving not only Mansell employees but also our supply chain partners, will help us make the step-changes necessary to achieve these objectives. Above all, we’ll be calling on everyone to “Make Safety Personal”.

We will be using a “Zero Harm Journey Plan” to focus our activities and drive improvements. Regular udates on our progress will be published.

Zero Harm ranks among the biggest challenges we’ve faced. We don’t have all the answers yet but we do have knowledge, creativity and a determination to achieve this goal.
