Health & Safety
Safety first, foremost and always
Our current rolling 12 month AFR is 0.07
Throughout Birse Civils, safety is the first item on all meeting agendas, from
the plc board to individual project healthchecks.
Our approach to safety is proactively to develop a safety first culture in all
our staff, subcontractors and suppliers. Exemplary safety performance cannot be
achieved purely via policing.
Each regional business has a dedicated safety manager who audits the performance
of all our jobs.
Twice a year, each regional business dedicates a day to raising the profile of
health and safety in the workplace.
As Marshall Scott, Managing Director of Balfour Beatty Regional Civil Engineering
states " There is nothing we do at work that is
so important that we can't take the time to do it safely."
