Huge congratulations to the team at Somercotes who look suitably happy for reaching an impressive 14 years LTI free. Terence Clair, Operations Manager, says: “I think you’ll agree this is an amazing achievement when you consider the high fluctuation in volume due to customer demands, the ongoing employment of agency staff, the number of staff on site, having a 24 hour operation, a high level of process and product change in line with new moulds, and a factory foot print change.

The team at Somercotes have done an amazing job and the factory is still continuing its push to be safer, every day demonstrating that our vision of ZERO harm is ever more achievable. I often say that I am proud of what the team do each day at Somercotes but being witness to how they make our working environment safer we are finally able to see attitudes change towards Health & Safety at work, home and in everyday life.”

Terence continues: “We must ensure we never relax and become complacent.  Records are great but they will never replace the importance of every day passing without injury.”
