Altrad Life-Saving Actions

These are key actions that individuals must take to protect themselves and others during higher-risk activities. The primary focus is to help manage these exposures during activities at our worksites, describing the most important aspects of our work, which if breached, have the potential to cause serious injuries or worse.

It is your responsibility to follow them without exception, failure to do so would be regarded as a serious violation, and could lead to the termination of your employment. If you are unsure on whether you or your actions are fully compliant with all Life-Saving Actions, you should consult your Line Manager or Supervisor for further advice and guidance.

Excellence Delivered Philosophy

For a long time, our industry has focused on not having accidents in the workplace. At Altrad, we know this can be taken a step further. We believe instead of focusing on the avoidance of accidents we should be focused on achieving excellence. That’s why our approach to safety is that by trying to do the best job possible, small errors will be far less harmful. It is through the adoption of this philosophy that we believe we can eradicate injuries and incidents.
