Our Zero Harm Life-Saving Rules

We all do different jobs, work in different places, and face different challenges every day. We have different lives, backgrounds, and ways of looking at the world around us. But there’s one thing we all have in common – we want to get home safe at the end of every day.

At work, we call it Zero Harm. It means operating safely every day and taking care of our health, safety and environment to create a place to work where we can all be at our best.

Our Zero Harm Life-Saving Rules are a simple guide to staying safe every day. Ten rules to follow – no matter where you work or what you do – that will protect your life.

The rules are simple – five things to ALWAYS do, and five things to NEVER do. The results couldn’t matter more – fewer incidents, less injury, no fatalities. A safer, healthier workplace for all of us.

“Zero Harm to health. Zero Harm to people. Zero Harm to our environment. That’s our destination. And we are making positive progress on our journey towards it – but we have further to go.

I have a clear picture in my mind of what our destination looks and feels like. It’s a place where ‘Zero Harm’ is so firmly embedded in our DNA that whatever we are planning or doing and wherever we are in our business, ensuring that eliminating health, safety and environmental risks will simply be part of how we do things here.

It’s about a mindset that poses a constant call to action – ‘What can I do to further reduce or eliminate any adverse effects arising from the work we do at Rolls-Royce?’

I am looking forward to working with you all as we make great progress towards our Zero Harm future.”
