‘Blue Hat’ scheme
In 2009, we introduced a scheme aimed at front line supervisors. We continually look at ways of improving what we do with a view to adopting a ‘zero tolerance’ standard with regard to accidents and incidents. Focusing on supervisors, who manage people at work on a daily basis, we have strengthened our policies and procedures. We are placing greater requirements on training, knowledge and aptitude, which are all evaluated at a new supervisors’ induction, whereupon successful completion, the supervisors are issued a ‘Blue Hat’.
Awareness days
In 2008, we introduced Costain Safety, Health and Environmental awareness days. The events brought together Costain senior management, customer representatives and members of our supply chain to discuss forthcoming Group and industry initiatives, changes to legislation, and our aspirations for Safety, Health and Environment. The day achieved such positive feedback that we continued the initiative in 2009, holding a further five events across the country.
