111 Safety Is vitally important, but so is occupational health. That's the view of health, safety, and environmental director for TNT UK and Ireland, Nell Griffiths.
"We offer our drivers, fitters, and fork-lift truck operators periodic health screening, and we encourage our employees to adopt a healthy lifestyle," he says. "In addition, we provide them with advice on diet and exercise, and even on safety In the home.'1
Why should an employer be concerned about household hazards? "If you fall off a ladder at home while you're doing some DIY and hurt yourself seriously, you won't be coming to work," he replies.
TNT Express Services has become the first ever company of Its type to be awarded a five-star rating by the British Safety Council, which has also presented the firm with four Swords of Honour for the standards achieved by its Nottingham, Edinburgh, Stansted, and Kingsbury depots.
This Is awarded to a maximum of 40 selected firms worldwide that must have attained a BSC five-star rating first.
