Morgan Ashurst finds ways to improve SHE including the reduction of waste

Morgan Ashurst found that although a safety, health environmental and quality (SHEQ) management system was in place, accidents and incidents were still occurring within its business. Following an investigation it was established that they were not caused by management system failures, but by an individual or group behaviour. The firm then set about to improve its safety, health & environmental (SHE) performance by changing the current culture within the organisation.

Key points


• Establish a programme of training and awareness
• Key personnel appointed in order to deliver this programme
• Stopping unnecessary waste/packaging coming to site
• Good housekeeping helping to prevent slips, trips and falls
• Try to re-use off cut materials within the works
• Ensuring that disposal to landfill is always a last resort.
