At ATM Ltd, we operate in a highly diverse environment, tackling a wide range of tasks, operations, and challenges every day. While we invest significant effort into identifying and controlling potential risks, we understand that the true experts are those on the ground—our teams working on-site each day. It is these individuals who are best placed to assess real-time risks and adapt to any changes or unexpected hazards that may arise.

We believe it is crucial to empower our people to make the right choices when it comes to safety. This empowerment includes the authority to stop work if there are any concerns about the site, the environment, the methodology, the equipment, or the information provided. If any of these elements are found to be 'not fit for purpose,' our employees must feel confident in their ability to halt operations immediately.

Recent analyses of our incidents have highlighted cases where a problem, change, or failure in our control systems should have been identified, giving someone the opportunity to stop the operation before an incident occurred. This reinforces the importance of our teams feeling empowered to speak up and take action.

To further promote this culture of safety and empowerment, we decided to introduce a tagline that encapsulates our commitment. Following an internal competition, where employees were encouraged to share their ideas, we are pleased to announce the winning entry: "STOP - be safe by choice, not by chance."

This tagline will become a core part of our identity at ATM Ltd, reminding everyone across the business of the importance of speaking up and prioritising safety. We are committed to fostering an environment where every individual feels empowered to do the right thing, ensuring that safety is always our top priority.
