Health & safety
Safety is our number one priority and we endeavour, though advice, training, systems, procedures and enforcement, to ensure we induce a positive and proactive attitude towards safe behaviours across the organisation.
Mouchel's safety, health, and environment team to create greater accountability amongst those actually delivering our services on the ground. The company's integrated management system provides a common framework for managing health and safety in every part of the company, an extensive learning and development programme raises awareness and competency, directors' safety tours create a mandate for best practice, and an inspection programme monitors compliance.
Mouchel's occupational health and safety management system meets the requirements of OHSAS 18001 and gained LRQA accreditation during 2008/09. This standard provides structure to the way we plan our health and safety, our approach to hazard identification, our operational control systems, our emergency preparedness and our training programmes.
The Director responsible for health, safety and communications reports to the Chief Executive on health, safety and welfare matters. The central Health & Safety team is responsible for policy, direction, systems, training, audit and local safety management. A copy of our Health and Safety Policy can be found here. Our Health and Safety Policy for Ireland can be found here.
We actively encourage all employees to report accidents and near misses via our online portal, ensuring that all incidents are properly investigated and root causes analysed, and during the past year both our Accident Incidence Rate (AIR) and Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulation (RIDDOR) reportable statistics remain well below the industry average for our sector.
