Health and Safety

Health and safety is taken seriously at Diamond. We ask that you complete the necessary SHE training online and pass the test. It is also important to take the refresher courses upon expiration of previous courses.

  • You are responsible for your own safety and we ask that you refer to the local rules for further clarification.
  • Upon arrival at B24, a member of staff will take you through a brief safety induction and you will be required to sign the visitor's form daily, showing that you have completed this induction.
