Health & Safety

BWA continues to strive for excellent performance in occupational health and safety, in combination with our policy of continual improvement working towards zero incidents and accidents.

Making the Workplace a Safer Place

Yes, we want to help our customers make their business a success, and yes, we want to provide competitive returns for our business. But our number one priority is the health and safety of our people. We do everything we can to prevent our people getting sick or injured at work. This includes recording key parameters, such as Lost Time Injuries Frequency Rate and Total Illness Absence Rate, and setting targets for their improvement. We also try to positively influence behavior and attitudes to health and safety by studying the reasons for accidents and promoting a positive safety culture.

Auditing Our Sites

Our auditors audit our sites every month – and each site is visited at least every three months by the company safety engineer. The auditors check whether HSE guidelines and company best practices are being applied. Problem areas are identified and we agree action plans to tackle them. Follow-up reports ensure that our sites implement the actions and operate within safe boundaries. Since auditing began, all business area have shown a gradual improvement in their audit scores.

Leadership Commitment
