At Ring Stones, ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees, supply chain partners, and all we come in to contact with is a priority – and we share everything in our Annual Health, Safety and Wellbeing Report.
In 2024/25, our overall safety performance has been good, and we are continuing to see improvements across areas of reporting such as accidents and incidents, where we have again seen a reduction for the previous year’s statistics.
In a positive trend, we have also seen an overall increase in near misses reported, although the number
has increased, this can be seen as a positive in the culture of safety with these providing opportunities to improve overall.
We have continued to have effective arrangements with our occupational health providers to support our
employees. Our new providers have undertaken annual assessments of our trade’s employees, with several both short-and long-term health conditions being identified, this allows ourselves to ensure we place additional precautions around work activities and ensures that employees feel valued and safe when being asked to work.
As well as physical health and wellbeing, we are aware of the challenge of mental wellbeing and have introduced several sessions and workshops for our employees to attend to aid in this area.
This last year has also seen the increase of Mental Health First Aiders throughout Ring Stones which has made it more accessible to discuss the conversations that exist not only in Ring Stones, but in the wider sector.
We have continued to engage with our Health and Safety consultants to undertake a wide range of Site Safety Inspections (SSIs) for our construction projects throughout the year, the inspections have totalled 37 this year with an overall average outcome of 93.23%, which is above the agreed 86% KPI outcome.
Financial year 2023/24, achieved an overall average of 91% for comparison.
