Thales UK
Employing around 9,000 people of which three-quarters are involved in engineering work across 60 sites, Thales UK faces a wide range of health and safety challenges. These range from lasers, high voltage works and plating plants through to stress, working at height and business travel, it became apparent the benefits that could be gained from more standardized practices.
With this in mind, the Environment, Health and Safety team at Thales UK received board approval in 2003 to take on the remit for health and safety. The task that lay in front of them was to establish health and safety policies, assist in implementation of occupational health and safety management systems and roll-out of the OHSAS 18001 certification program group-wide.
