Zest achieves safety milestone of 1,000 incident-free days

Zest, the UK’s fastest growing investor-operator of public access EV charging infrastructure, has reached 1,000 days without a reportable health and safety incident.

The company’s safety-first culture is founded on a no-blame positive reporting system. By positively reporting risks and learning from them, Zest ensures the safety of its people, the public and its contractor partners.

Zest has grown very quickly and is now the largest in-house EV infrastructure team in the UK. Positive hazard reporting has also increased by 250% since last year, indicating that the safety-first culture is being maintained in line with company growth.

Earlier this year Zest was awarded multiple UKAS-accredited ISO certifications in recognition of the quality of its management systems. The awards demonstrate the company’s continued commitment to quality, health and safety, and the environment. UKAS is the only government-backed body for ISO certification in the United Kingdom. UKAS accreditation provides 100% confidence that any ISO certificate will always be recognised throughout the supply chain and for all tendering purposes.

Zest works to the highest standards applied by the EV infrastructure industry, achieving accreditations including CHAS, Safe Contractor, UVDB, NIC-EIC and the Office for Zero Emission Vehicles.

Robin Heap, Zest CEO and Founder said: “A safety-first culture demands a commitment to excellence and continually working to the very highest standards. We'll continue to strengthen our quality systems as we build the infrastructure for the next wave of EV drivers, delivering services that the public will rely on for decades to come."
