one project approach. By 2013, we had halved the number of
RIDDORS and OSHA reported injuries across the project.”
ADSL work with a small number of partners and strategic
suppliers including Sodexo, Babcock, MUJV (a utility joint
venture between UKPNS and Veolia), Colas and Rollalong, to
deliver complex, high value operations and has developed a
long term strategic relationship with these organisations.
“It is vital that a subcontractor’s approach to health
and safety matches our own,” Andrew Ingram, Head of
Procurement said. “The contractor selection and evaluation
process takes the form of a two part category based
questionnaire. It is comprised of a standard question set,
which includes evidence of insurance, acceptance of Terms
and Conditions and QHSE contractual obligations.
“Part two relates to the specific Category with a question
set developed by the SME and Category Manager following a
Sustainability Assessment. This assessment is proportionate to
the risk and complexity of the category and forms the basis of
minimum standards and continual improvement.”
All work activities completed by contractors must be
supported with an ADSL Authority to Proceed (ATP). Prior to
ATP issue, the contractor must receive an ADSL health, safety
and environmental contractor induction and demonstrate their
competence to perform and supervise their work.

These are then collated against a defined set of questions
known as a Supplier Performance Review (SPR). Finally, the

“Our commitment to health and safety and the importance
of everyone’s engagement with it is recognised by our
subcontractors. We stress how personal ownership of health
and safety by every one of us is the key to changing unsafe
behaviours,” Andrew explained.
“For some of our partners, this contract leads the way
for them in health and safety across their entire client base.
Smaller companies subcontracting to us report that they
have realised the benefits. The standards we have introduced
them to have enabled them to win contracts with other
organisations.”
