Health, Safety and Wellbeing

The nature of our business as both an energy retailer and an energy generation company means that health and safety is a critical issue for us. We have set ourselves high standards and established strong leadership to make sure that the appropriate measures and training are in place.

Protecting our employees, contractors, visitors, customers and the general public from ill health or harm has the highest priority at RWE npower. In addition, we take every opportunity to promote wellbeing at work. We:

• manage risks to help prevent accidents and injuries;
• create a culture that rewards safe behaviour;
• promote risk awareness;
• help employees who have been injured or are unwell to return to work;
• regularly investigate, monitor and report on health and safety and security;
• benchmark and audit our performance against best practice;
• encourage our people to take an active part in their own wellbeing.

We take every measure to protect everyone we work with. As our business changes – through the growth of our Energy Services business and the construction of new power stations, for example – we’ll keep reviewing our health and safety risks and policies to make sure they’re still relevant and fit for purpose.
