Statement of safety policy

The Health Safety & Welfare of our staff and those who may be affected by what we do is our highest priority. Legislation covers all business activities but operation in the construction industry is particularly well regulated.

Our policy, procedures, arrangements and monitoring program were developed specifically for our business by expert consultants (Delain Consultants). This documented system is contained within three volumes and is supplemented by various documents and databases that are an integral part of our management information system named IMIS. This forms the basis of how we achieve compliance. All firms employing more than 5 staff are required to have a policy statement and a Competent Person (CP). Our CP is John Bradstreet DipSM, FIIRSM and he is registered with OSHCR.

We held third party accreditation with Safe Contractor, CHAS and Constructionline for many years. To streamline our health and safety accreditation we now hold this with Constructionline only. We were members of the British Safety Council and achieved recognition in the form of their annual safety award for some 13 years. We are competent to deliver project works under CDM (Construction Design Management) Regulations. All our field staff receive specific health & safety training during induction and as part of an on-going programme, they are also required to pass the H&S assessment examination under the Construction Skills Certification Scheme every three years.

  3. To promote safety awareness among all employees through providing information and safety training.
  4. To co-operate with employees to achieve the objectives of the safety policy.  In this connection it is stressed that it is the duty of each employee, while at work to take reasonable care of his own health and safety and for that of others who may be affected by his acts or omissions, and to co-operate with the Company to enable them to comply with the regulations.
  5. To provide for the effective planning organisation, control, monitoring and review of the preventive and protective measures arranged for the safe working within the Company.

The Senior Management will keep this policy under review and make and revisions it deems necessary, from time to time.  All such revisions will be brought to the attention of its Employees.
