2022 might be well underway now but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t take the opportunity to reflect back on 2021 and what we can learn from it.

The Health & Safety team have put together a useful document reflecting on the last year and identifying opportunities for improvement.

As you know, a major milestone reached in the UK was the one year employee LTI free in our operations, however the number of contractor injuries remains a significant concern.  Top causes of all incidents: 32% slips, trips and falls, 14% handling lifting or carrying, 8% contact with moving machinery.

The top five focus areas for focus going forwards are:

• Health and wellbeing
• Traffic management improvements
• Embed and expand Take 5, Take 5 Together and Take 5 for Drivers
• Expansion of MP Connect
• Roll out of Zero4Life Today training programme

This review can be found at the end of this document and in the download section of the UK News website: Health & Safety Review 2021 (815 downloads) It also includes the EMEA 2022 Improvement plan.
