Page 49 - Vaculug Sustainable Report 2022

The health and safety of our people is paramount across our organisation. We are committed to establishing safe and healthy work environments through our health & safety policies and procedures. Our ‘Vaculug Limited Quality,
Environmental, Health & Safety Policy’ outlines our commitments to quality and safety. This policy is shared and communicated to all team members through our onboarding and training processes, and through signs and posters that are displayed throughout our premises.
Since 2018, we have had no injuries occur across our organisation.
In addition to communicating our commitments, we also require our team members to take responsible care of themselves and others, and to help us fulfil our commitments by cooperating and complying with the policies that have been put in place.
Specific commitments outlined in this policy include:
• Providing customers with a first-class retread product and service manufactured in a safe and efficient manner.
• The production of the environment, the prevention of pollution and environmental impacts related to our business.
• Communication, participation, and consultation with Vaculug team members
The ‘Vaculug Limited Quality, Environmental, Health & Safety Policy’ also outlines our efforts to maintain and audit our management system on an ongoing basis. Additionally, the policy is supported by our Risk Assessments, Environmental Aspects, Technical Schedules policies, which apply to
all company activities.
In line with these efforts, we are committed to maintaining the standards required by ISO9001 and ISO45001 (See Figures 2 and 3). Vaculug is also confirmed as a member of the Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) Forum, which validates the company has demonstrated its compliance with the forum’s core safety criteria.
In addition to ensuring the health and safety of our employees, we remain committed to prioritising the health and safety of our customers who use our products. In 2022 we updated our Fleet Management System with the aim to further improve our ability to offer the highest quality service and products to our customers.
We strongly believe in the power of education and Sustainable Thinking to drive both awareness and change. Driven by this belief, in 2022 we partnered with the Metropolitan Police to host our first Road Safety and Tyre
Awareness workshop with key stakeholders.
The objective of the session was to educate our stakeholders on all aspects of road safety, and specifically on the vital role that tyres play in keeping people safe and in preventing serious incidents on our roads. Many of our employees and customers participated in the session, which was well received and appreciated by all in attendance.
