IOSH Managing and Working Safely

We carry IOSH training for selected managers and supervisors every year, refreshing formal qualifications every five years. During 2021 we carried out 33 IOSH courses.

Health and Safety management system

Dennis Eagle continually strives to deliver effective health and safety arrangements by subscribing to Managing for Health and Safety (HSG65) guidance for the Plan, Do, Check, Act approach.

This helps achieve a balance between the systems and behavioural aspects of management. It also treats health and safety management as an integral part of good management generally, rather than as a standalone system.

Dennis Eagle’s management team are appropriately qualified to provide Health and Safety guidance for the work their different teams do. A company Health and Safety Manager is responsible for the day-to-day management aspects of on-site work across our UK network. They are supported by a Safety and Compliance Manager in the Aftermarket Division.

Occupational Health Provision

We provide frequent health surveillance checks on all applicable employees.

We also provide specific Occupational Health Support for employees with medical conditions who required adjustments or who are phasing themselves back to work after a period of absence.

Accident Investigation Process

With our new NotifyIM Incident Reporting App, every employee can now report incidents and accidents in seconds. They can also assign and track actions, monitor through to resolution, share critical health and safety data securely, spot high-risk issues and constantly improve safety.

Accident stats

Over the last few years, incident trends have been fairly level across the business. Our Injury Frequency Rates are well below the industry standards in place.

However, the company fully understands the need to continue to raise H&S to the next level.

First Aid

We currently have 110 first aiders across the UK which is 12% of our workforce. Refresher training is provided to all of them annually.

Aftermarket Safety Hubs

Axis is a web-based intranet platform that enables teams to work together, sharing documents and knowledge and collaborating on ideas and issues.

Company health and safety information is now available on Axis. Information hubs conveniently located in all Aftermarket sites, improving access to this valuable information.
