The Pyeroy Group has achieved a major health and safety milestone – it has recorded one million man hours without any lost time accidents.
This is a significant achievement for the fast growing industrial services firm which employs over 1,000 people working on industrial, construction and marine projects throughout the UK and Ireland.
The fact that no employee or contractor who’s been in contact with Pyeroy has had to take time off as a result of an accident reflects the firm’s strong commitment to stringent health and safety procedures across all its operating divisions.
Over the last 18 months Pyeroy has enhanced its investment in training, with an emphasis on ‘behavioural safety training’ designed to further enhance an already developed safety ethos and encourage people to take more personal responsibility for on-site safety.
The news also comes as the company’s Construction Division has chalked up three years without a ‘lost time accident’.
Hugh Pelham, managing director of Pyeroy, said: “This is a significant milestone and I would like to thank all involved for their efforts in helping to reach this mark.
“Health and safety is of paramount importance and our investment is paying dividends in enabling us to consistently achieve a high standard of safe working standards on-site across all areas of our business.
“Customers will also see the value of the safety practices in place, which can help to prevent injuries, improve the long term health of our workforce and avoid on-site accidents from occurring.”
