WSP's considers the health and safety of its employees to be paramount. Business travel represents one of the most hazardous activities in which we are engaged.
We apply the hierarchy of control to all travel to ensure our journeys are both safe and sustainable.

Integrated Safety Management
Demonstrating the Value of Safety Through Human Capital
Value accounting seeks to put the value of nature and people at the heart of decision making in business by framing them as 'capitals’. Let’s take business travel as an example. Our safety systems have always been driven by reduction of risk. But imagine the impact if we change the narrative to highlight the benefits to the business the individual, and the community.
“The
safest journey is the journey not taken” >>> “The most valuable journey is the journey wholly considered”
We need to demonstrate our culture of caring by prioritising not only the safety of our people but adding value to their wider health and wellbeing, as well as that of the community through the impact of our actions. We all have a role to play in changing this narrative.
People who drive for more than 2 hours per day are more likely to have poor physical and mental health outcomes
