Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics Rencol put the spotlight on health and safety as part of a company-wide International Environment, Health and Safety Day. The 120 employees at Rencol’s site in Bristol joined 212,000 colleagues from Saint-Gobain companies around the world to mark the day with a series of events designed to raise awareness of the need for the highest levels of health and safety both at work and at home.
Activities for the day included Fire Marshal training in cooperation with Chubb Fire Ltd., detailed risk assessments of working stations and a series of training sessions in Health and Safety related standard operating procedures. But Health and Safety skills are also easily transferred to our private lives; an introduction to basic First Aid skills, backed up by mock incidents, and a no holds barred Health MOT were on offer. All the presentations and training sessions were very interesting and informative, and the discussions afterwards were good.


The day also included a fun and interactive Wii ten-pin bowling competition. Mike Frost, the highest scoring player, was presented with the top prize of a remote control helicopter at the end of the tournament. Also everyone who collected six event stamps or more was entered into a draw for a bottle of champagne – Kevin Gooding was the lucky winner. All in all, the event was a tremendous success and great fun was had by all.

Jim Smith Managing Director said: “This is the third time Saint-Gobain has held a day to highlight the importance of health and safety. Ensuring a safe working environment for employees is a key objective for Saint-Gobain, and the day is a great way of reinforcing key messages while having fun at the same time.”
