The EPC Groupe's philosophy is to ensure that safe working is placed ahead of productive gain.
In 2007, a groupe declaration endorsed by the Chairman and all heads of business was circulated
to all employees, with the principles and goals of
the group.
This buy-in from all levels of the operational
structure of the business has had a marked improvement in the safety culture now promoted across the EPC Groupe's subsidiaries.
The overall goal was to improve each person's
attitude and behaviour towards safe working. This has been illustrated
by the safety awards won in the UK by Blasting Services and the
improved result in the group overall.
The continuous improvement has seen the introduction of the EPC Groupe's Golden Rules, Dupont Stop Audits and Safetyfive.
