Colas the Future of Rail

SAFETY PUTTING SAFETY FIRST Safety is at the forefront of everything we do. We’re proud of our excellent safety record and actively fund and promote a culture of safety with our colleagues and subcontractors all making significant contributions.

<1.5 Lost time accidents per 1,000,000 hours worked. No serious accidents.

From our CEO to our frontline colleagues, we believe safety is everyone’s responsibility. We continually share, reinforce, and reward best practice safety behaviours with a high emphasis on training, competence, and assessment. Safety also feeds into our collaborative ethos – our teams are encouraged to lead by example and collaborate with our supply chain to improve safety on all our sites. CARL: Our Safety Reporting App To continuously improve our safety record, the quality of our working environment, and enhance performance for our customers, our Health & Safety and IT teams collaborated to create our safety reporting app, CARL.

CARL – Call, Action, Report, Learn – is an effective, convenient way to track and record close calls, reducing safety incidents. With a simple app frontend, anyone working with Colas Rail UK, from staff to clients and our supply chain, can report and record safety conversations. Since CARL launched, we have seen a direct correlation, between increased safety conversations and a reduction in accidents.

>4,000 Safety Conversations recorded every month via our CARL app.

>2,200 Client and Contractor staff feeding back safety information via our CARL app.
