Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 564

Health vs Safety
We often concentrate our H&S messages on safety, however health issues are much more likely to be
fatal, with 89 workplace deaths caused by health issues for every workplace safety death.
During our 2017 H&S day, we concentrated on health risks and controls. Crews attended medicals and
we committed to all crews attending medicals every 3 years in addition to annual medical
questionnaires assessed by competent occupational health specialists.
If you have any medical condition that could affect your work, please inform your line manager.
We are all a product of learning. Every skill we have; everything we know; everything we believe and everything we do has
been learned throughout the course of our lives. Some of us learn best by studying graphs and charts, some through visual
presentations, and some by reading detailed text books. It is important that we receive information in a format that works for
us as individuals! That’s why at Xmo Strata we use a variety of communication platforms such as bulletins, newsletters,
videos etc. However, if you feel there is a better way for us to share health and safety information, please let us know.
Ultimately, your safety is in your hands – but we will do all we can to keep you well informed!
