Kier Northern Honoured For Exemplary Health & Safety Record

Kier Northern is the winner of the Yorkshire and Humber Constructing Excellence Health & Safety Award, in recognition of its achieving an accident incident rate (AIR) of zero.

The company has exceeded 1.2 million man-hours – and £60m of work - without a lost time accident. The AIR of zero is significantly lower than the HSE's benchmark rate of 906, and has been achieved thanks to the great commitment and teamwork demonstrated by all levels of staff and contractors.
