Health & Safety.

Health & Safety is a critical aspect of our operation. All staff are fully trained in on-site health & safety working practices and new employees are chosen from those with demonstrable training and understanding of health & safety practices.

We are members of CHAS, The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme. CHAS is a health and safety pre-qualification scheme designed to access a companys combined health & Safety Policy Statement, practice and history.Below is a copy of our certificate, click for original (pdf).

We allocate a dedicated Health & Safety manager for all contracts whose role it is to liaise with contractor Health & Safety managers and deal with Health & Safety issues on site.

Our Health & Safety programme's are devised in accordance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2007 and are accompanied by full Health & Safety plans, Risk Assessments and Method Statements.

Health & Safety is not just ensuring that all employees are wearing hard boots and hats. Its about developing a regime of awareness and understanding of the risks involved and communicating those risks at all levels. If you would like to discuss our approach to Health & Safety please feel free to contact us.
