Recruitment
“Derek is the most passionate Safety Manager who has ever worked for me. His dedication for driving safety is beyond recognition. LNER use a close call system created by Derek and the staff participation has been phenomenal. We have had zero accidents & incidents recently due to the promotion of “stop it before it happens†via the close call system.“
“I nominate Derek for Safety person of the year as he has shown his dedication to Safety throughout the Depot. He engages with staff at all levels and listens tentatively to any safety concerns and always tries to find solutions. The one to one engagement on the shop floor is where Derek has earned the trust and respect from staff in all quarters. He continues to raise the safety cultural awareness profile within Craigentinny Maintenance Depot for the benefit of all.“
“Derek has achieved a good safety record at Craigentinny with his Close Call Record Cards and App.
He has always strives to do the best that he can and this award would be a good thing for him to see just how much that he has achieved.“
“Derek has a great ability to encourage enthusiasm in what can be a very dry and possibly a very dull subject. Having enjoyed many a good safety briefing with a good few laughs along the way we at Craggentinny will soon be disappointed to see Derek move on to pastures new but safe in the knowledge he will breed new enthusiasm into other parts of our great organisation and I feel it is a must to bring some recognition to the job he has done for us all at Craiggentinny.“
“Derek provides basic and detailed safety help when required. No question is too small and he takes all issues raised seriously by all staff.“
“Really looking forward to attending this years awards. Hopefully Samuel Knight Rail will get nominated for an award, fingers crossed :)”
