Safety and Environment Reward and Recognition
RSRL Harwell-Winfrith sites also run a Safety and Environment Reward and Recognition. The scheme seeks to encourage employees and contract staff to report all safety related incidents, near misses or potential hazards, no matter how trivial. This is so the organisation can take positive action to prevent accidents from happening in the future.
As part of the Reward Scheme RSRL donates One Pound to four chosen charities per quarter for every safety related incident or near miss report it receives. The charities sponsored, so far, in 2011/12:
- Beating Bowel Cancer
- Julia's House Hospice
- Diabetes UK
