Safety Bulletins
Safety is of paramount importance to NDTS and we strive to reduce risk and hazards to our own and others employees and also to the environment.
NDTS is accredited to OHSAS 18001 and as part of that system we carry out regular safety training, inductions, talk box talks and other good practice to ensure that our employees are best placed where safety is concerned.
As part of this safety program we provide regular weekly dual language safety bulletin giving safety tips and advice on items that have come to our attention mostly through other companies experiences and general good safety practice. These safety bulletins can be accessed below.
