Its that time of year when we are planning what, when and how we are to achieve the
company targets and goals. The top of the list is of course safety.
We will shortly be rolling out this years Safety Improvement Plan.

systems and information we should have in place to help not only with the SIP but to
ensure a safe year for you and your colleagues.
