DYER & BUTLER AVIATION DIVISION HITS MILESTONE SAFETY RECORD

Dyer & Butler has announced that its Aviation division has achieved one million hours worked without sustaining a RIDDOR reportable injury incident.

An important factor when reporting this achievement is that it relates to time-critical, high pressure environments including Gatwick, Heathrow, London City, Birmingham and Southampton Airports. In these environments, Dyer & Butler teams routinely work on and deliver a variety of projects to tight deadlines, 24 hours a day.

Dyer & Butler safety, sustainability and training director Steve Broom comments: “This success has been achieved through the hard work and dedication of the teams involved who have adopted an open safety culture which promotes the reporting of close calls and the swift rectification of any matters that could potentially result in harm to the workforce and the environments in which it operates. The close call system has been a fundamental part of the success of Dyer & Butler’s safety culture and has led to exemplary levels of safety performance over the last three years.

Dyer & Butler’s close call app, developed in-house, links to a secure reporting website accessible from any smartphone via a QR code. Scanning the code takes the user to an online form, through which near miss events, site safety issues or suggestions for improvement can be recorded into the system. Once the form is completed, an online database is automatically updated with the close call details.

Dyer & Butler managing director Neil Edwards’s adds: “The health, safety and wellbeing of all of our people, and the safe delivery of our operations will remain our primary focus to ensure that we ‘put safety first’. In doing so, we will ensure that each and every person that is engaged with working for Dyer & Butler is able to be ‘Safe by choice... not by chance.” 

Dyer & Butler Electrical has also achieved one million hours worked without sustaining a RIDDOR reportable injury incident, also with no Lost Time Injuries reported.
