• consult and inform employees, employee representatives and third parties to promote risk awareness and health and safety responsibilities
• assist employees who are injured or are unwell, whether through work or otherwise, to return to work
• promote a high standard of overall health and wellbeing in the workplace

• investigate, monitor and report health and safety performance throughout RWE npower
• measure, benchmark and audit such performance against both RWE npower standards and industry best practice to ensure continuous improvement
