Birse Rail is committed to achieving ‘Zero Harm’ across its business by 2012.
Zero Harm is a Balfour Beatty Group-wide safety initiative, with the target of eliminating fatalities or serious harm to its people, subcontractors and the public by 2012..
At its launch on 1st October 2008, Ian Tyler, Balfour Beatty Group Chief Executive affirmed:
“We will not risk doing harm, so we will not accept any target other than Zero.”
The goal is to achieve, by 2012:
Zero deaths
Zero injuries to members of the public
Zero ruined lives among all our people
That means: no seriously disabling injuries, no long term harm to health, and aiming for zero AFR while we achieve below 0.1. “All our people” means those employed by Balfour Beatty or by any subsidiary, sub-contractor or partner working anywhere in the world.
It will be achieved by a commitment to eliminate fatal risks, eliminate hazards, maintaining Zero Harm day to day, keeping the public safe from harm, keeping all Balfour Beatty people healthy, working with customers and Making Safety Personal.
