Our Approach & Values
A safe working environment is integral to a successful business performance and sustainable growth, therefore Health & Safety is at the top of our agenda.
LIFE- Living Incident Free Everyday. A safe working environment is integral to a successful business performance and sustainable growth, therefore Health & Safety is at the top of our agenda. It is essential we implement the right polices, procedures and the right people with the right behaviour to ensure the health, safety and welfare of our employees, supply chain, clients and the general public.
We believe that safety in the workplace cannot be achieved without competent and committed employees. Therefore, we invest in training our employees to a minimum level of skills, abilities and competence within their role and level of responsibility and go beyond this to ensure they are demonstrating the right behaviours. NRC Plant has embarked on a behavioural safety programme that is based on the premise that all accidents and incidents are avoidable.
Our award-winning (Living Incident Free Everyday) underpins our core values and everything that we stand for when it comes to the safety and wellbeing of our people. It consists of 5 Core Values: Teamwork, Respect, Integrity, Excellence and Determination.
It is integral to how we operate and do business, both in the UK and overseas, and is based on the premise that we believe we should be sending everyone home safe and well every day.
