Congratulations to Altrad, this month’s Safety Energy contractor of the month on our Sellafield Product and Residue Store Retreatment Plant (SRP) project. The award was presented by Jon Muir, SRP construction manager.

Altrad earned this recognition for their open and honest approach to safety. The team used a section of the recent PPI Stand Down to reflect on a managerial failure elsewhere on site that led to a near miss, sharing key lessons and outlining what is now being done differently to prevent it from happening again.

This level of transparency and learning demonstrates Altrad’s commitment to safety and their proactive attitude to maintaining high standards on site.

Jon Pyne, Altrad senior project manager, said:

“I’m proud of the team for stepping up and showing leadership during the PPI Stand Down. We didn’t shy away from a difficult conversation, we used it to reinforce our commitment to learning, raising standards, and most importantly, keeping people safe.

“Everyone on our team has a role to play in driving safety forward, and this award is a credit to their efforts.”

Well done to everyone involved.

Our long-term steelwork supply partner Severfield has been announced as this month’s safety energy contractor of the month on our Sellafield Product and Residue Store Retreatment Plant (SRP) project.

Severfield has delivered an excellent Safety Energy performance, showing a consistent commitment to high standards. Their response to a recent incident and follow-up engagement was exemplary, demonstrating a proactive and responsible approach to safety.

The team also supported the recent SHEQ conference, supplying MEWPs to assist with event setup, and have gone above and beyond expectations by procuring powered air purifying respirators for their own supply chain, exceeding existing standards.

A big thank you and congratulations to Severfield for setting the bar high and leading by example.

Karl Hine, Severfield senior SHE advisor, said: “Being awarded the safety energy contractor of the month is a huge accolade for Severfield and one that we have celebrated as a team.

“Since the introduction of safety energy, we have always set ourselves high targets and used them as a driving force to improve as a team on the PPP projects.

“I am really proud of the team’s commitments and effort to enable us to achieve these targets. This award is for the team, not me, as I set the targets. It’s our workforce and management team who put the effort into achieving them.

“I look forward to our next phase with safety energy where we will measure the impact of our data and push our targets up again.”
