Safety Management

Safety Technology

All employees across the business have access to Airsweb. Airsweb is our web-based system in which every single incident, no matter how small, is recorded. The incident is not closed until a satisfactory resolution has been implemented and signed off by a Senior Manager. This allows us to continually improve our processes to reduce the chance of repeat issues reoccurring.

Behavioural Safety Audits

Behavioural Safety Audits (BSAs), are conducted by our Field Managers where they spend time managing safety in our employees’ own environment.

A BSA is conducted on safety-critical activities. These are unannounced and provide us with the opportunity to see how a task is completed day-to-day without supervision. This approach helps to develop a culture where safe behaviour is instinctive. The results of the BSA are entered into a database, from which we analyse trends and implement necessary remedial actions.

Internal Communications

All teams across our divisions have regular meetings to review safety, health, quality, and environmental performance. Issues are reviewed monthly by Suttons Group Board of Directors. In addition, monthly safety briefings are held with a focus on driver behaviour for all Suttons Group and supplier drivers, these focus on a different safety topic each month.

Depot Safety Audits

Directors and Senior Managers regularly visit depots and third party service providers to review performance and conduct safety audits. Suttons Group SHEQ (Safety Health Environment and Quality) Department also conduct regular depot audits, both announced and unannounced.
