Health and Safety



We take our obligations and responsibilities under Health and Safety legislation very
seriously. Working practices Our objective is to provide our Employees, Sub-contractors,
Site Personnel and Clients with both a safe working environment and a safe system of
work. We regularly review our working practices to ensure that best practices are
adhered to or adopted and that safety hazards are identified and accidents so far as
reasonably practicable are avoided. In particular we regularly monitor the safety of any
equipment or machinery provided for use to employees or by Sub Contractors.
Equipment and machinery All equipment and machinery provided by us complies with
the appropriate UK standards and is designed or adapted for the purpose for which it is
used. All employees who use or supervise the use of such equipment or machinery are
properly trained in its use including Health and Safety considerations. Health and Safety
guidance is given to all new employees upon joining us and regular refresher updating
sessions are held for existing employees and sub -contractors.
