Dear Colleagues

Royal Mail Group - Revised Safety Policy and Safety Plan:

Following very productive discussions and a series of meetings with Keith Scott, the new Royal Mail Group Head of Safety, a new, revised Royal Mail Group National Safety Policy and Arrangements has been introduced following endorsement by the Royal Mail Group Chief Executive and board in December.

The new Policy states very clearly that the role of Trade Union Safety Representatives is crucial to the delivery of a safe working environment, high standards of safe working practices and a positive safety culture. The Policy goes on to recognise that Safety Representatives must be involved in health and safety issues and will engage at all levels of the organisation, providing information and assistance to the staff they represent and to safety practitioners and managers in safety related matters.


The new Policy also agrees to establish a new National Joint Royal Mail Group/Trade Unions Safety Forum dealing with 'Corporate wide' issues and to 'ensure employee engagement' on Group wide safety issues at strategic level.
