Sustainability

Our environment is the basis of all our business and we will protect nature, communities and people.

Health & Safety

Our safety programs emphasize the importance of our vision and values, that people are our most important asset and the safety of our employees and the communities in which we operate is a core part of our ethical business philosophy.

Safety organization and strategy

Monthly safety updates are provided to the Operational Performance Review meetings while more in-depth management reviews are completed every six months with the senior operations team comprising the heads of the four SBUs and the heads of the Group functions. These reviews were held by round table in each month.

All injuries at work are regarded as avoidable. We require full reporting of all incidents, no matter how minor, and appropriate investigation to ensure we learn from all such events. The Group has a focused site approach that provides additional support and more regular reviews for sites that have more than a defined number of significant injuries.

Safety performance

Safety improvement has been developed to focus on three main areas: leadership, specifically our first line leaders; understanding the behaviors that lead to injuries and managing our high risk activities. NSG Group drives proactive safety through a measure called NABIS (NSG Anzen Bunka Improvement Strategy) this process has three main areas reflecting our focus points.

The second part of NABIS is measuring Safety 4 Ways, which includes:

•   Safety Improvement Plans (SIP) – reducing hazards and risks through planned improvements of conditions and behaviors that lead to incidents.

•  Incidents of High Potential Severity (IHPS) – reviewing all incidents with a critical eye, asking what could have happened and could the incident have led to a serious injury or fatality; then taking preventative actions.

•  Key Safety Behaviors (KSB) – focus on how our employees complete tasks, working to reduce at-risk behaviors through frequent feedback.

•  Significant Incident Rate (SIR) – The Significant Injury Rate (SIR) is our primary reactive indicator.

We are committed to our high-risk reduction program and the safety tools we have in place. We continue to focus on the following areas:

•  Working where there is a risk of falling

•  Vehicle and pedestrian safety

•   Machinery safety: guarding, frequent access and complete isolation

•   Contractor control, including permits

•    Materials handling: moving glass, load security, grabs, trolleys and pallets

•    Driving in connection with work

Moving safety to the next level

The safety strategy remains the same, with a focus on improving the effectiveness of our safety tools and programs. We believe that our employees and leaders will make the difference in moving safety to the next level through the following initiatives:

•   Independent audits of our safety tools to drive a more consistent approach, develop our safety skills and improve our shared learning. As travel restrictions have continued these audits have moved to remote review completed via Microsoft Teams.

•   Further improve our level of proactive employee involvement as a means of continuing to change our safety culture.

•   Further develop our first-line supervisors to improve our overall level of safety leadership.

•   In FY22 the NSG Group will develop a cultural survey tool to measure the safety culture in its larger operation, pilot site will complete the survey by the end of FY22 with full role out in FY23.
