"Even though Bradford is a small site we still have a varied mix of people and priorities” agrees Ray Swaddle, UK operations manager.

In fact, small and large organisations have more in common than you might think when it comes to safety culture change. If anything there’s more at stake when incidents affect a close community with fewer staff.
