Vital

Health, Safety & Environment

At Vital Power we are very proud of our safety achievements and are fully committed to continuously improving our safety performance. We have clearly defined Key Performance Indicators (KPI’s) for Health & Safety which are aligned to our BS OSHAS 18001 certification which are monitored and reported on and reviewed with senior management monthly.

The KPI’s include non-lost time injury rate, lost time injury rate, RIDDOR, near miss reporting and accident frequency rates with challenging targets set for each element.   

All Vital Power staff receive health and safety training relevant to the work they are to undertake and all managers have their health and safety responsibilities clearly defined. A Health & Safety Handbook has been produced and issued to all Operatives and is also available at all client sites. Training requirements are regularly reviewed with training plans developed to maintain a high level of competence and understanding.

Risk assessments and method statements (RAMS) are produced for all work carried out by Vital Power with staff briefed before commencing work.

We take pride in our environmental responsibility and as such have developed an Aspects and Impacts Register which monitors our performance as we strive for continuous improvement. Vital Power is certified to ISO 14001 and is measured through regular internal and external audits.

In-house Environmental Awareness briefings are conducted to increase staff understanding, knowledge and responsibility.

Continued improvement in all aspects of Health, Safety and Environment is being achieved by creating a culture of safety first and the concept that everyone owns health and safety. This includes using near miss reporting as a front line tool in the fight against accident prevention.
