Putting People and Safety First Every Day

We prioritise the highest safety standards to protect our colleagues and foster employee loyalty at G4S. Our expertise in health and safety empowers employees to lead by example, promoting best practices that safeguard our customers and communities.

Given the nature of our work, workplace security and safety are strategic risks. Our top priority is mitigating these risks to ensure our people return home safely each day.

Allied Universal® (G4S’ parent company) sets the framework for advancing beyond mere compliance to industry leadership in safety. Achieving this leadership requires a strong safety culture where safe thinking and actions become second nature for everyone.
