AN industrial services firm has passed one million man hours without lost-time accidents.
Gateshead-based Pyeroy Group said the fact that no employee or contractor who had been in contact with Pyeroy had had to take time off as a result of an accident reflected the firm’s commitment to stringent health and safety procedures across all its operating divisions.
Pyeroy employs more than 1,000 people working on industrial, construction and marine projects throughout the UK and Ireland.
During the past 18 months Pyeroy has enhanced its investment in training, with an emphasis on “behavioural safety training” designed to further enhance an already developed safety ethos and encourage people to take more personal responsibility for on-site safety.
