Press Release

Magnox North Wylfa Site has just ended an excellent financial year by having no lost time accidents* on the site for 12 months.

In a single year, the site has had an excellent safety performance, maintaining its ROSPA Gold Medal, British Safety Council 5 Star rating and the Sword of Honour for safety management, which is only awarded to 40 companies worldwide. The standard continued throughout the Reactor 1 statutory outage, when there is increased workload and personnel.

The site prides itself on having safety related campaigns throughout the year to support various topics such as road safety, by providing defensive driving for high mileage drivers and skid courses for under 26 year olds.

Fred Brookes, Wylfa’s Environmental, Health, Safety, Security and Health Manager said, “Safety comes first at Wylfa and one year with no lost time accidents is a great achievement. Our next challenge is to maintain this level of achievement throughout the Reactor 2 outage which started on the 8th April.”
