Health and Safety is an overarching priority at all levels within Duo (Europe) plc

Our approach to Health and Safety Management is uncompromising, whether installing a new plant for a customer or operating and managing a plant on his behalf, all Duo Staff and contractors operate to the safety standards set down in the company's Health & Safety policy and management system.

We set high standards for both ourselves and our supply chain and can demonstrate year-on-year improvements in our safety performance, gained. Our comprehensive Safety Management System is based on and meets HSE guidance and clearly defines responsibilities, lines of reporting, procedures, monitoring arrangements and training requirements. Enforcement of the system is through a top-down regime of inspection and auditing at all levels within the organisation.

The H&S department has in recent months been successful in establishing a level of culture which includes a forum which allows for the sharing of experiences, knowledge and best practice across all of our operating companies and departments through a basic system of "All singing from the same song-sheet".

We at DUO do not as many do believe that health and safety is just "common sense" but fully agree with the late Albert Einstein who quoted "Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age 18". Our management team is totally committed to ensuring that as an organisation we fully understand and accept that successful health & safety performance can only be achieved by the full development of an effective health & safety culture championed from the top, with training and investment in health & safety as a top priority.
