Health and Safety
Following the
award winning recognition of our Health & Safety commitment we are continuously
endeavouring to improve our standards.
Over the past few years we have put together many schemes and come up with
ideas to improve health and safety matters, investing much hard work and
dedication in training our employees to all appropriate health and safety
standards and instilling in them a positive attitude towards the importance of
having a safe work environment. The extent of our success is demonstrated by the
fact that our accident record has reduced to virtually nil on all of our sites
in the South of England; an almost unheard of statistic in our industry.
As a company, we have strict policies in place to ensure that we provide, on an
ongoing basis, the right levels of training and awareness to our staff; this
helps to being to light any issues that may cause a problem in the future,
prevention always being better than cure. We carry out monthly audits on all our
sites, with the results reviewed by clients, site managers and foremen alike,
and any necessary changes are implemented immediately. We also make a commitment
to improving the competencies and skills of our work force, by providing
training and ensuring that they have the necessary skills to carry out their
jobs from the onset.
With all our carefully set out procedures and policies in place and by employing
a dedicated, in-house, Health and Safety Manager, we are able to be vigilant in
our monitoring of all our sites, no matter what their size; keeping a permanent
record of all health and safety procedures and the training of staff have been
dual. We have increased our productivity, in terms of our meeting building
programme schedules and been able to give assurance to our clients that our
responsibility, in offering a safe working environment, offers them, in turn,
peace of mind throughout the contract. The net result is an end product that
everyone can be proud of.
Our key target for Health and Safety is nil accidents on site and making a site
safe remains one of our top priorities. Our achieving this means we are well on
our way to creating the skilled and productive work-force which ensures life is
made easier for our clients.
