Safety is our priority

As a leading support partner, we are committed
to delivering world-class HSEQ performance across
our global operations.
Stork has adopted REACH to help improve our safety
performance and engagement on HSEQ. REACH was
originally developed and launched in 2009 by RBG, the
company acquired by Stork Technical Services in 2011,
where it had a major impact on HSEQ performance
evidenced by over 70% reduction in the UK lost time
incident frequency rate, and over 60% globally, from
2009 to 2011.
By placing safety unequivocally as our number one priority,
we can deliver complex wind energy projects, onshore
and offshore, to the highest HSEQ standards without
compromising quality.

HSEQ excellence is at the heart of everything we do. We have a

robust HSEQ culture that demands the application of outstanding
performance and behaviours across our global operations.
