We are proud to provide a sustainable, affordable, clean and safe water supply and to manage and treat the waste water returned to us in a way that protects the environment.
We are committed to protecting our people from any risks associated with the work they do for the company and to generally supporting and encouraging high levels of health and wellbeing.
Anyone in a safety critical role must pass a medical specific to their job and have successfully completed the necessary training to be safe and competent. These training and occupational health standards are defined for each role and you will be issued with a passport - mypassport - which allows you to demonstrate that you have met the standards.
For those people who do not work in safety critical areas, health screening opportunities are provided every 3 years when mobile units visit our key sites. These have helped with early identification of previously unknown conditions, eg high blood pressure and cholesterol.
Our Occupational Health Physicians support our people in the safe return to work from complex and long term illnesses. Clinics are held regularly at our main locations to provide specialist occupational health advice with reports shared with both the individual and the company.
Everyone is covered by some form of private medical insurance unless they have chosen to opt out. Our Back to Health scheme is offered free to all new employees and provides early intervention and support for conditions affecting their work in the company; the company also meets any tax liabilities that may arise.
All employees and their families are also provided with access to an Employee Wellbeing Programme, staffed by professionals who can provide counselling and life management services on a wide range of issues such as financial/money concerns, personal and family problems, legal queries, relationships, family care, bereavement etc.
Smoking is not permitted within any of our premises [unless a designated smoking area] or in company vehicles.
