|
| Bouygues Construction has developed a strong, coherent and decentralised Health & Safety (H&S) policy. It has established a committee whose focus is to ensure coordination of actions, encourage sharing of experience and promote best practice. |
|
| Bouygues Construction and its subsidiaries continually strive for "zero accidents" and ensure that their responsibility not only extends to their direct employees but also to workers employed by subcontractors or in any way related to the site and its immediate environment. |
|
| Local H&S teams are required to have an active and effective management system that monitors and continuously improves performance. |
|
|
|
| Bouygues UK certified OHSAS 18001:1999. |
|
| Certification to OHSAS (Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series) 18001 is culmination of Bouygues UK stated policy 'Health & Safety on site is the number 1 priority', but it does not end here, Bouygues UK will continue to work on and improve on the high standards it has set itself. |
