Telereal Trillium

Protecting the well being of our people, supply chain, customers and the general public in the delivery of our business activities is our priority. Our commitment to health and safety is demonstrated by our excellent track record and supported by external benchmarking and accreditation, including OHSAS 18001 certification.

We have a formal written health and safety policy, which sets out a variety of processes and procedures to ensure health and safety remains at the forefront of our business.

Employee safety

Health and safety is an important partnership between the company and our people. There are a number of tools we utilise in order to protect the safety of our people.

• All employees are given formal health and safety training relevant to their roles
• New employees attend induction training, which covers our health, safety and welfare policies and procedures
• All employees are issued with a health and safety handbook, which provides a broad overview of the main issues they are likely to face while at work
• In 2011 a new health and safety e-learning platform was introduced to further promote awareness
• We hold quarterly remployee health and Safety committee meetings attended by representatives from all areas of the business, to identify any areas of concern and promote important information
• Our employees  complete Display Screen Equipment (DSE) online training and self assessment modules that provides guidance on how to set up display screen and associated equipment to reduce health risks

Ensuring our employees are fully aware of health and safety issues and receive appropriate training not only protects them, but also creates a safer environment for our customers and members of the public.

Supplier safety

We only use suppliers who demonstrate their health and safety competence through successful completion of a pre-qualification process. This ensures they have:

• Sufficient health and safety arrangements to carry our works safely and without risk
• Processes to ensure that all sub-contractors have appropriate health and safety arrancements in place
• Experience and track record confirming they are capable of doing the work
• A sufficient number of suitably trained people to undertake the work

Throughout the contract with our suppliers, their performance is monitored to ensure that the highest standards of health and safety are being maintained and all necessary legislation is being met.

External benchmarking and accreditation

We are at the forefront of health and safety management and are committed to continuous improvement. Telereal Trillium has been recognised by The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA), winning gold at the Occupational Health and Safety Awards for seven consecutive years.

In March 2012, Telereal Trillium was re-certified to Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001 accreditation after fulfilling a number of stringent objectives and targets.
