Our Commitment To Health & Safety is set out in our Health & Safety Policy. Our procedures are implemented in the form of a Safety Management System which comprises Site Audits and specialist Safety Training.
In line with best practice the company has purchased defibrillators for site use.
All sites are regularly audited by the Health & Safety Manager to ensure compliance with the systems and procedures and corrective action is taken where necessary. The audit results are reviewed regularly at Senior Management level with a view to achieving continuous improvement. The company is proud of its track record in the area of health and safety and is confident that the procedures in place will ensure that this situation is maintained.
All management staff are obliged to complete the “Managing Safely in Construction” course, which is approved and validated by the Institution of Occupational Safety & Health (IOSH), and run by the CIF.
All employees must successfully complete the “FAS Safe Pass” course and individual Site Safety Induction Training before commencing work on site. A range of courses including Tool box Talks, Occupational First Aid, Fire Training, Manual Handling and Abrasive Wheels Instruction Courses are provided regularly and as required.
