Health and Wellbeing
Making safety personal
Health, Safety and Wellbeing is personal. Every person on every site has people who depend on them and a life beyond work. That is why we look out for each other, speak up when something is not right and stop when conditions change.
A safe site is never luck; it is built through care, discipline and shared ownership.
Our commitments
We always follow our Four Golden Rules
We apply our Four Golden Rules every day, in every task, and never compromise on these controls that keep people safe:
- Be fit for work.
- Always receive a briefing before starting work.
- Report all unsafe events and conditions.
- Stop work if anything changes.
This helps us make safe decisions, reduce exposure to serious risk and make sure people go home safe and well.
We look after ourselves and each other
We protect both physical and mental health and wellbeing. We make it safe to ask for support, challenge unsafe pressure and look out for the people around us.
This helps us spot concerns early, support one another and create the conditions for people to work safely and well.
We learn from every experience to make work safer and healthier
We learn from incidents, near misses, observations and good practice. We share knowledge and lessons, then take corrective action where needed to improve how work is planned and carried out.
This helps us repeat what works, prevent harm from recurring and make Balfour Beatty a safer, healthier place to work.
Our health and safety policy
Our health and safety policy sets out our approach to protecting everyone affected by our operations.
