Health & Safety Excellence achieved
FM Environmental is proud to be able to claim 2012 as a year free of Reportable Accidents, as defined by the HSE and according to RIDDOR.
Considering that FM Environmental staff operate and install in a number of hazardous working conditions, such as in confined spaces, contact with electricity and water (not simultaneously of course), building site, working at heights, and operating in locations at risk of Weils Disease, this is no small achievement.
We will continue to build on this success to maintain our faultless performance, guarding against complacency.
We will continue to apply sound Health and Safety practices in our everyday working lives. In particular the use and application of Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS) are standard on contracts which form part of our OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety Management System, as well as our ISO9001 Quality System, we are obliged to provide RAMS on all contracts we work on.
Furthermore, Some of our clients such as Northern Ireland Water, operate using the ‘Take 2’ approach to Risk Assessments i.e. when returning to a site a second or third time, a further assessment on potential risks or hazards is made as site conditions can often change from one day to the next. This seems a logical and practical approach to Risk Assessments and the Company is to apply the same approach to ALL our contracts. RAMS will be modified to include a ‘Take 2’ section which engineers are to note and complete.
We look forward to continuing Best Practice for the safety of both FM Environmental staff as well as other persons that may be on site.

FM Environmental’s 2012 Olympic legacy
2012 saw not only our involvement in the grease management, but also more specialist equipment being employed in the reinstatement of the canals and waterways around the venues. FM Environmental supplied 2no 5.5 kW Aspiro floating aerators, mounted on pontoons, which were used to help aerate a 4 km stretch of the River Lea and the adjoining canals during the dredging process. The importance of the aspiros aerators was highlighted by maintaing sufficient oxygen in the river and canals to permit the native fish and plant populations to continue to thrive during the desilting process. This was achieved with the added benefit of little surface agitation, therefore nuisance aerasols were prevented from being released.
Manufactured by Australian company, PCPL, the Aspiro has been used widely for simultaneous mixing and from canal aeration to oxidation ditches to lagoons and concentric tanks. FM Environmental have been are the UK & Ireland distributors and installers and can provide specialist advice for projects
