2 million working hours without an accident at work


Much is written about the pain, injury, death and lost working hours caused by accidents at work in the UK, and rightfully so. However, just as it is helpful to discuss the causes and consequences of the 140,000 serious work injuries that occur each year in the UK, it is also helpful to recognise and learn from those workplaces that make a positive contribution to the national health and safety record.

In 2009, one workplace reached such an important and enviable milestone - the achievement of 2 million working hours without an accident at work.

TTE Technical Training Group is the UK's largest training and consultancy organisation for the engineering, process and oil and gas industries, all of which are among the most dangerous in the UK, so it is no small achievement that it has managed to reach the 2 million-hour mark accident at work-free.

Phil BlewittTTE's Commercial Business Director, comments, "The attainment of two million hours without a lost-time accident is a substantial achievement, especially as the centre trains a wide variety of engineering and operations technicians from all over the world who have differing levels of safety training and practical industrial experience.

"The achievement proves that the health and safety of everyone connected with the business is regarded as of prime importance to TTE.

"From a trainee's perspective, to train at a centre with such an outstanding safety record and stringent safety procedures in place will enable them to transfer these vital values when they return to their places of work."
