Europa sets up health and safety team

[ September 16, 2024   //   ]

Europa Worldwide Group has set up an in-house Health & Safety team. It will take responsibility for training, reporting, auditing and overall health and safety awareness, working closely with on-site operational teams and taking on board feedback from team members.

The team will be based predominantly at the company’s operational sites in Dartford, Birmingham and Corby but will oversee Health & Safety across 18 UK and European branches, encompassing approximately 1,000 employees.

The Group installed the EVOTIX app-based tool in November 2022, which provides real-time education, monitoring, reporting and analysis of Europa’s health and safety record and makes safety reporting accessible to everyone.

Head of facilities and health and safety lead, Jon Margetts (pictured), said: “The team will oversee a range of initiatives to help Europa maintain its strong health safety and welfare culture which has seen year on year reductions in the number of accidents across our sites. We are utilising our safety platform, EVOTIX, to focus on leading indicators which identify and tackle areas of risk, introducing new Site Induction Programmes, revised Practical User Guides (PUGs) and renewing the internal safety audits.

Europa also runs quarterly safety competitions, which reward individuals and teams working to make a difference to health, safety and wellbeing.
