Life Saving Commitments

Life Saving Commitments

​​What are our life saving commitments?

Our life saving commitments are a set of simple, common-sense practices that we expect everyone to follow.​​​​​​​ A breach of our life saving commitments will trigger our Just and Fair Consequences process.

Safe working environment

MWH-Cone

We will have approved RAMs in place, controls identified and complied with.

You will ensure you follow all Risk Assessments and Method Statements, question anything you are unsure of and all have the authority to STOP work if in doubt.

Slips, trips and falls

MWH-FallIcon

We will provide clear, marked egress and access routes to and around site and compounds.

You will use them, report any issues or misuse and maintain a high standard of housekeeping throughout. 

High hazard services  

MWH-HazardCog

e.g. high pressure gas mains and high voltage cables

We will only work around high hazard services where we have exhausted all possibilities to remove the risk through design or isolation.

You will follow all RAMs, process controls and permits to break ground and stop work if the task changes.

Plant stability and safety

MWH-HazardIc

​​We will provide plant that is fit for purpose, in good condition and set up safely.

You will have been trained, have the skills and proof of competency for the plant you are using.

People-plant interface

MWH-TractorIC

We will ensure plant and equipment is segregated with safety zones.

You will observe all plant safety zones and only approach plant once the operator has seen you and it is safe to do so.

Stored energy

MWH-PipeIC

e.g. any pressurised pipe work, electrically live systems and even coils of wire or steel banding that can spring loose

​​We will always ensure stored energy is treated with great caution, particularly when commissioning or testing.

You will follow all RAMs and permits and cease work if anything changes.  

Health and Wellbeing

MWH-HeathIC

​​We will always look out for each other and listen, making sure everyone feels valued and respected. 

All employees will know where to get help and support when needed.
