Stanton Bonna's Health And Safety Supports Charity
Since 2008, when the Near Miss Hazard Alert (NMHA) scheme began at Stanton Bonna, accidents and incidents have reduced by over 90%.
The NMHA initiative engages the whole workforce. It encourages the 150 employees to complete a NMHA card to inform the Health & Safety Department of a potential near miss or hazard. Examples include unsafe equipment, regular spills and unsafe practices - appropriate actions or new procedures can then be put in place.
Stanton Bonna donates £1 to a designated charity for each card submitted. This year the Health & Safety Committee, which includes management and staff representatives, selected the charity Help for Heroes.
A total of 408 cards were submitted so £408 was presented to Paula Allen, the Derbyshire county coordinator from Help for Heroes.
She said: "Congratulations to everyone for a massive reduction in NMHA related incidents. We would like to say a massive thank you for choosing to donate funds to Help for Heroes. Without the efforts of fundraisers and donations it would not be possible to inspire, enable and support our wounded, injured and sick service personnel, veterans and their families. This is something the charity has pledged to do for life and it would be impossible to continue without your generosity.
"The funds raised will make a significant difference to many lives, which could be through our sports recovery programme, hidden wounds project, recovery centres, individual grants or our quick reaction fund.
"I wish you ever success in reaching your goal of zero harm in the NMHA scheme and thank you all once again."
Stanton Bonna's reputation for Health and Safety initiatives has been recognised by many prestigious awards.
Recent awards include:
• The 2015 MPA British Precast Awards were held in Leicester on the 24 June and two of Stanton Bonna's team were honoured with awards for their outstanding work to help improve Health & Safety at the organisation.
• Wayne Smith, Electrical Maintenance Engineer, won The Outstanding Contribution to Health & Safety Award for his exceptional dedication to improving systems to the benefit of work colleagues. One such improvement was the research, design and installation of an innovative, secure access control system.
• Shaun Marsh, Engineering Manager, was presented with a Highly Commended award for Health & Safety for his outstanding commitment in reducing the noise on the pipe casting machine, benefiting all the team who work with that machine.
