Chevron's 2012 Employee Annual Safety Award winner

Published on 11 Sep 2017

Congratulations to Eddie McFarland of Chevron Systems!

Our employees are actively encouraged to report all unsafe acts and incidents allowing the management team to take appropriate action. To support this initiative, we introduced a reward scheme in 2011 fully endorsed by our Managing Director Kim Yates.

The process begins with an employee being selected for a monthly safety award, the prize of which is £50. Our General Manager, Andy Hicks and Group Health and Safety Manager, Christopher Rowley, along with our Directors look at the details of each monthly award and decide on an overall winner for year.

Whist working as a TSCO on the M62 J9 to J11 scheme, there was concern regarding the number of closure breaches whilst having closures on both carriageways. Eddie came up with the solution of using red and white plastic barrier (similar to pedestrian barrier) with high intensity red flashing lights to close the carriageway behind the cones. This significantly reduced closure breaches. It proved so effective that it has become standard practice throughout the Chevron group.

Thank you for your help. The works to the bridge were completed and great teamwork from both crews. I had a good view from the bridge and was very impressed by their work. Always said it....TM is an art form!

Please accept our thanks your team’s efforts on this project. Chevron have been brilliant, nothing has been too much to ask of you and we have delivered to programme despite the complexities of working at these junctions. Look forward to working with you in the future, I think it’s forged a good relationship between us.

Marlow Carnival 2017

Can I please express my thanks on behalf of everyone at Kier for the exceptional aptitude and attitude shown by one of your site teams who were engaged in a recent local community project. As with any town centre closure there were some ‘challenges’ thrown at the crew but their attitude and commitment to the safety of the children, parents and support groups was second to none. It’s lovely to be able to write this reference to your colleagues, please pass on my most sincere thanks.

Area 3 ASC- Emergency Narrow Lane Scheme, M27 J12

Another great success for Area 3. To turn this around in such a short space of time due to the nature of the repair and the location is a credit to you and your teams. Well done!

A404 Resurfacing

Could I say a big thank you to yourselves and to all your crews which were on site at the A404 Resurfacing scheme last night. I have spoken to the Tarmac site supervisor from the Chieveley depot this morning who was very appreciative of how helpful and how good it was to work with the crew that was on site.
