May Gurney Rail Services runs regular safety, health and environment beiefing days for clients, suppliers and employees.

Super safety stats

May Gurney Rail Services is celebrating six calendar months without a RIDDOR - an accident resulting in an individual being unable to work for three or more days.

During the six-month period, the 370-strong Rail Services' team has worked over 800,000 man-hours.

Russell Adams, Rail Services' Managing Director, said: "Safety continues to be a top priority for May Gurney, and the last six months have been used to really sell this message to everyone.

"Since last November, we have continued to role out our MAD (Making A Difference) behavioural safety programme, which attacks safety performance from a very different perspective. I believe that this initiative is really contributing towards our improving performance.

"MAD encourages our people to think about their attitude towards safety rather than just focusing on, for example, processes and PPE. MAD instils in everybody a sense of personal responsibility, not only for their own safety, but also for the safety of their colleagues.

"Going forward, Rail Services aims to keep a clean sheet by mirroring the past six months' performance and achieving an accident free year," Russell concluded.
