Health and Safety
Our colleagues’ health, safety and wellbeing is of utmost importance to us – we want everyone to go home after a day’s work as healthy and happy as when they arrived – and our positive Health & Safety culture is one where people work together to make safety part of everything we do.
At Allied Mills we are committed to the prevention of injury and ill health and take full account for our legal and ethical responsibilities to provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions for our employees, visitors and contractors.
More details can be found in our Health and Safety Policy and all sites are certified to OHSAS 18001.
Safetea Moments
At Allied Mills, we encourage all our staff to challenge any unsafe behaviours, praise safe behaviours and share tips and ideas of how to have a positive safety conversation or moment.
We recently launched an initative for everyone to have a cuppa and a conversation around safety at work, and regularly review our ways of working to ensure that safety remains of paramount importance.
Site Safety Days
We shut down each of our sites for a day and invited everyone to join us for a day focused on safety. Our brilliant Health & Safety team organised activities with cross-functional teams so we could get to know each other better, learn about health and safety and have fun in the process.
And of course, no event would ever be complete without an ice cream van!
Mental Health Awareness
On World Mental Health Day our fabulous Mental Health First Aiders organised site activities to raise awareness about the support on offer, share local mental health iniatives and discuss how our Mental Health First aiders can help.
All of our colleagues were given an additional ten minute break in their day so they could focus on their mental health. They could:
- Speak to one of our Mental Health First Aiders
- Have a drink and a cake
- Join a litter pick 'walk & talk'
- Just take some time to reflect
