UK&I ESG Strategy / 2025 / Page 12

People: Advancing social mobility

Health and safety

Being an employer of over 50,000 colleagues, working with thousands of

customers, all of whom operate or interact with the facilities in our care

– OCS has a duty to ensure the facilities in our care remain safe to use

and we do not put people at risk of harm through our

business operations.

Some of our key supporting actions and programmes:

• Incident management – actively promoting and encouraging incident

reporting, no matter how small and ensuring all incidents are

investigated fully to ensure we learn and continuously improve.

• Behaviour and culture change – A regular cadence of behavioural

safety campaigns such as continued driving of hazard reporting,

to support our pillar of continually improving our safety culture

and performance.

• Health & safety performance measurement – regularly reviewing

H&S performance metrics at all levels and focusing on leading

indicators to implement actions that will positively influence

lagging indicators.

• Training – developing programmes and upskilling colleagues using

a combination of internal expertise and external support.

• Improving technical competencies & compliance – Utilising our

OCS UK&I Technical department, populated by fully qualified experts,

to continually improve competency, knowledge and compliance

levels across specialist technical areas such as Fire Safety; Water

Management; Asbestos; Electrical and Mechanical.

Social mobility

As one of the largest employers in an industry that doesn’t set

unrealistic barriers to entry, invests in its colleagues and enables

progression, we can open the doors to career opportunities for people

from all walks of life.

Some of our key supporting actions and programmes:

• Apprentices – bringing in and upskilling new talent and developing

existing colleagues

• People into Work programme – Working with partners to recruit

people who face barriers to work

• Supporting Veterans – to honour the Armed Forces Covenant

and support the Armed Forces Community.

• Employability – engaging and supporting local initiatives on our

contracts to equip local communities for work.
