Safety first – At every level of Recover

Safety starts at the top

Safety is a cornerstone of our operations and a clear leadership priority across Recover. From Group level to every local team, we are committed to ensuring that everyone works in a safe and secure environment, every day.

Working safely in high-risk environments

Our teams often operate in physically demanding and high-risk environments. That is why we prioritise health and safety across all countries and business units, supported by structured safety programmes, training, and shared best practices.

A proactive Safety culture

We believe that safety is not just about procedures, it’s about mindset. Our employees are empowered to speak up and stop work if something feels unsafe and we actively promote:

  • Risk awareness in everyday work

  • Early identification and prevention of hazards

  • Open communication and shared responsibility

Proactive and reactive safety

At Recover, we distinguish between reactive and proactive safety: • Reactive: learning from incidents and near misses • Proactive: identifying risks before they occur

Focus on prevention

We place strong emphasis on proactive safety through: • Risk observations and reporting • Continuous dialogue and improvement • Clear safety targets and follow-up

Strong governance

Our Group Safety Committee oversees this work to ensure consistent standards and continuous progress.
