Target Zero

In October 2004, Carillion launched a new Health and Safety strategy, called ‘Target Zero’, across the whole of its business in the UK and international regions. The aim of Target Zero is simple: To reduce the number of RIDDOR reportable accidents and cases of occupational ill-health to zero by 2010”.

This is what Target Zero means to us: “Through the way we work and behave, all our people and stakeholders will be protected from the risks of occupational injury or ill-health.”

The implementation of Target Zero has already seen an impact by not only lowering the number of reportable accidents that we have seen, but also lowering our accident frequency rate (AFR) based on the number of RIDDOR injuries per 100000 hours worked.

Target Zero is about creating, developing and maintaining a culture of zero tolerance to accidents and Health and Safety risks in all our workplaces.

Target Zero supports a behavioural-based employee led culture in which “everybody, everywhere and everyday” can help contribute to our success.
