Our responsible business commitment to improve the health, safety and wellbeing of our people and communities.
We will report on our progress against our Thrive365 strategy and continue to report the number of health and safety regulation breaches. For mental health and wellbeing we will develop volunteering opportunities.
Desired impact – For South East Water to ensure all employees, partners and communities go home safely each night, but that they are also enjoying good health and wellbeing.
How have we performed?
In April we launched our new online hazard and incident reporting system, ANMEL. This will make it easier than ever for employees to make safety reports and for managers to access them and undertake an investigation. A mobile version is due to be released in quarter three.
The tool also links to our new Commitments Database, which is the tracking system used to monitor all health and safety actions. Outstanding and overdue actions are monitored and reported to the Exec each month.
Building on the success of ANMEL, phase two is for safety inspection forms to be available via the mobile app and link directly into the Commitments database. The health and safety reports will then be single point of access, available at point of use and paper-free.
We continue to roll out our online risk assessment system. This is now in full use for work orders issued to Process, Distribution and Leakage teams.
Our procedure for responding to a significant gas leak has been reviewed and supported by a new training video. Drills have been held to ensure that each team member is trained and assessed as competent to respond to a leak.
