1 SAFETY, HEALTH & WELLBEING Keltbray’s primary focus, above all others, is to maintain a safe environment and healthy working conditions for all employees and supply chain partners wherever they are working. However, we believe our obligations extend further than just safety, and includes responsibility for people’s health and wellbeing. To this end, we have created an inclusive culture where everyone has the ability to thrive and contribute to our sustained growth and success. This focused approach manifests itself in our new Group Health, Safety and Wellbeing Strategy, summarily captured by:
Promote Health, Prevent Harm. Highly engaged and informed people drive health and safety improvement. As part of our people development activities, Keltbray’s health, safety and wellbeing training and educational programmes
are both interpersonal and/ or technical based. In 2020, Keltbray developed and implemented the Safety, Health and Environment Leadership Team (SHELT) framework to develop our safety performance through the inclusion of our operational teams, focusing on two-way communications and empowering leadership at all levels. The Strategic SHELT, with the support of the Tactical SHELT, undertakes a continuous review of health and safety performance, identifying trends, innovations and opportunities, setting a clear plan of focussed activities. This approach corresponds to the Decent Work element of UN Sustainable Goal 8.
