Improving safety health and well being


We have an extensive set of health and safety policies and procedures that all operations are required to follow. Performance against these policies is overseen by an audit process that also covers all Smiths production facilities including ISO HSE management systems.
Our Group Recordable Incident Rate was 0.54 in FY2022, continuing to track below the industry average and in the top quartile of industry performance.

Supporting colleague well-being inside and outside of work helps to keep us safe, healthy and performing at our best. Our global THRIVE programme has significantly increased the well-being resources available to colleagues, while helping to create an environment where people feel confident talking about matters such as mental health and wellness. All employees have access to our Employee Assistance Programme.
