Health and safety

Nothing is more important to Kier than the physical and mental health and wellbeing of our people.

Safety is our licence to operate and our most important priority. We want to ensure our people and our supply chain come to work and go home safe every day; to do this we want to ensure that everyone is given the time, training and tools to do their job safely.

Creating a safety-led culture

At Kier, keeping our people out of harm's way is far more than just encouraging words or one-off campaigns. A few years ago, we set ourselves a challenge to become industry leaders in safety and wellbeing and as a result have now successfully embedded a fully integrated safety-first culture throughout all that we do. 
 
This approach now permeates every environment, at every level and in every discipline of our organisation. We expect similar standards from our partners and supply chain as well.
 
In addition, over 90% of our operations are ISO 45001 certified, ensuring we deliver occupational health and safety management best practice. This is reflected in our Integrated Management System, alongside ISO 14001, environmental management, and ISO 9001, quality management.
