Health, safety and wellbeing

We believe that everyone in Morgan has a shared responsibility to keep themselves and each other safe.

We rely on the expertise and commitment of our operational and safety teams to uphold high standards across our sites, ensure all incidents are thoroughly investigated, and implement effective controls to prevent recurrence. Actual and potentially severe incidents are reviewed biweekly with the Group CEO and Divisional Presidents. 

Our Group Environmental, Health and Safety (EHS) policy, is supported by our Company EHS Framework, which guides sites in establishing robust local EHS processes. Compliance is assessed through our annual audit programme, and our ThinkSAFE programme continues to embed Visible Safety Leadership, Don’t Walk By, and ‘TAKE 5’ behaviours across the business.

Protecting our people from hazardous material risks remains central to our EHS approach. We assess and monitor controls, provide targeted training, and require each site to maintain an industrial hygiene monitoring plan to identify potential exposures and define appropriate mitigation.

Progress in 2025

In 2025, we delivered quarterly safety topics focused on the business’s key EHS challenges, reinforcing our ThinkSAFE commitment and the ‘TAKE 5’ programme message. We were disappointed to see that our LTA rate increased to 0.18 in 2025. Through accident and incident root cause analysis we identified a skills gap among frontline site leaders in balancing safety leadership with production and people responsibilities. In response, we launched the ThinkSAFE Leaders programme to strengthen safety leadership capability and reinforce expectations for sustaining a proactive safety culture.

To enhance clarity on safety risk management requirements, we introduced new safety standards and guidance, supported by site-level gap analyses. Compliance audits will begin in 2026 to assess adoption and effectiveness.

We also launched our Process Safety Risk Management framework, identifying all major accident hazards across the business. We are now conducting process hazard analyses for all high-risk processes and providing organisation-wide training to embed strong process safety practices and reduce the likelihood of serious events.

As a result of this work to clarify and standardise safety performance, we are now able to report additional safety metrics. These give additional insight into our safety performance and will be important in tracking the overall maturity of our safety programme.

Our safety plans for 2026 and beyond

In 2026, we will complete the roll out of the thinkSAFE Leaders programme, to strengthen our operational safety leadership. Closing this skills gap will be central to improving our safety performance and maturing our safety culture. We will also improve our incident investigation process, through training, by strengthening root cause analysis capability and ensuring we are taking the learning opportunities that arise from events and then provide thorough follow up of corrective actions. 

We will continue to perform and build on the findings of Process Hazard Analyses studies to deepen process safety knowledge, implement improvement actions, refresh maintenance programmes and roll out enhanced, localised process safety training. Alongside this, we will focus on reviewing and improving the actions driving our leading indicators, to maximise their effectiveness and ensure the actions taken positively impact on our safety performance.
