Safety First is a core value for the whole team at Suttons Group, which is why it’s right there in our strapline - ‘Delivering Life’s Essentials Safely’. In order to achieve our outstanding safety record, we consistently nurture a culture of safety within the organisation.
To help direct our focus where it is needed the most, we conducted an internal review to assess the aspects of our operations that have the biggest potential impact on safety. These are areas we might have had issues with historically or where the potential impact of an incident is simply too severe to contemplate.
As a result, we have arrived at 6 distinct areas of safety, of which each has defined expectations, including minimum standards of behaviours, equipment, and working conditions to ensure safe operation.
When working at height is required, we only do so with the required safety measures in place to prevent falls.
People working inside tank containers will be adequately monitored through a combination of supervision by a designated watcher and use of suitable lone worker devices.
We always carry out risk assessments before loading or discharging product, and always know to stay out of ‘the line of fire’ in case of an uncontrolled release.
While on the road our drivers ensure sufficient separation between vehicle activity and pedestrians, drivers ‘get out and look’ when manoeuvring.
We equip our drivers with defensive driving skills and an awareness of the risk of fatigue whilst driving to minimise the risk of accidents on the roads.
We’re a company built on strong values and principles, click here to find out more about them.
