Wates FM has announced a record health and safety performance, following a period of more than three years without a single RIDDOR (reporting of injuries, diseases and dangerous occurrences regulations) incident.

From the outset, the Anthology Hale project had a focus to eliminate the need for scaffolding or mast climbers and saving on costs whilst doing so.

In this blog, John Dunne, Group Safety Health Environment and Quality Director at Wates, outlines why he believes the rise in reported absenteeism due to poor mental health is a positive thing.

At Wates, the health, safety and wellbeing of our employees is central to our business ethos and success. This includes mental health as much as physical safety.

Wates currently building the new purpose-designed mental health hospital off Haxby Road in York, has launched a campaign to promote positive mental health as part of the project.

Kelly leads the Health and Wellbeing agenda within the Wates Group that looks at providing the best working environments, working practices, opportunities and support to promote wellbeing excellence in the workplace.
