Future Initiatives

To achieve our goal of continual improvement in 2010 the Group intends to:

• continue with our work to achieve and maintain compliance with OHSAS 18001 and other management systems at all of our printing plants;
• provide our Health and Safety Managers with specialist training in behavioural safety so that the benefits of introducing such a programme can be explored;
• carry on with a schedule of internal regulatory compliance audits issuing reports with recommendations for improvement, where appropriate;
• continue our involvement with the HSE Printing Industry Advisory Committee in an effort to improve health and safety in the Group and throughout the wider industry sector;
• continue with work already started on implementing new policies and procedures relating to the management of work-related stress and safe driving. Some of our other policies will also be reviewed and updated, as necessary;
• maintain good health and safety standards in engineering and construction projects that are planned for completion during the year; and
• continue to monitor health and safety developments, taking action to ensure compliance with new legislation and promoting further improvement through the Group Health and Safety Risk Management Forum.
