Home Who we are Health & Safety #WorkSafeHomeSafe Projects Contact Download File Health & Safety Always putting safety first to ensure our employees, clients and partners work in an environment that sees them return home safely every day. We are driven by our desire to provide and maintain a safe work environment for everyone. We do this by ensuring we provide adequate resources and equipment for achieving safe systems of work, as well as regular risk assessments and reviews of our processes and operating procedures. Communication is vitally important in creating a safe place of work. We ensure that our employees are supplied with sufficient information, instruction, training and supervision to ensure they are aware of any hazards at their workplace, together with the necessary measures to be taken to protect against these hazards. Our ongoing objective is to create a culture where health and safety is the top priority. Our Work Safe Home Safe Commitment provides us with direction on what our behaviour and attitude should be towards creating a safe and healthy business environment. #WorkSafeHomeSafe Covid-19 We have worked very hard to ensure we continue to provide a safe working environment for all employees, clients, and visitors to our premises. We have made the necessary workplace changes to facilitate physical distancing, hand hygiene, and other mitigating measures to protect everyone from the virus. We have provided employees with public health information, training, and supervision to ensure there is ongoing compliance of Covid-19 management, as well as appropriate monitoring and reporting tools for managing infection cases. Health & Safety Consultancy Support We are supported on a daily basis by a third-party Health & Safety Consultancy with an appointed H&S Advisor, who works closely with our Managing Director and Senior Management Teams. Our H&S Advisor’s role is to keep our senior management team regularly updated with key health and safety issues, ensure the company is up to date with all current and new safety legislation and advise accordingly where policy revisions are required, as well as provide assistance with training to update staff when necessary. Senior management and the H&S Advisor are key in promoting and encouraging a positive health and safety culture within the company. #WorkSafeHomeSafe outlines our approach to this and highlights the three components that make up the safety commitment: Safe Organisation, Safe Job, and Safe Person. Training Training is an integral part of our overall health and safety policy. All employees are suitably trained and have the appropriate skills, experience and qualifications to carry out their roles. Scaffolders are fully trained CISRS operatives, with adequate experience and competent in their work. Many of our scaffolding operatives have experience in numerous market sectors, including industrial and aviation. Our scaffolder trainees are accompanied by a fully qualified scaffolder at all times, with an emphasis on coaching and mentoring. Employees receive an induction upon the start of their employment, which provides detailed information regarding specific work procedures, company rules and the law. Scaffolders are trained on NASC SG4:15 Guidance, OCTO® System Scaffolding Instruction Manual, Kwikstage Guidance, company risk control systems, and the safe use of a harness. All employees are provided with Manual Handling training. Our Integrated Management System stores all training records, and a matrix programme provides notification on when refresher training is required. Trade Association Membership We are proud to be members of the following trade associations and working with industry partners to promote and encourage best practice systems of work. Membership of these organisations provides us with up to date best practice guidance, notification of current and forthcoming legislation, access to training courses and materials, and opportunities to network with like-minded businesses that also put safety and the well-being of their employees and clients first. Safe and Sustainable Products We strive to ensure that the scaffolding products we use in our contracting operation are superior quality. Committing to quality equipment is the first step in ensuring safety on site, backed by fully trained and competent people. Brochure Download OCTO® System Scaffolding Safety features are designed and manufactured into key OCTO® scaffold components; everything from how the component is handled and fitted, to the system of work that prevents falls from height. Visual safety checks are possible with the OCTO® joint, which creates a flush top and enables a level working platform that reduces trip hazards and potential gaps in the scaffold platform. All joints can be visually inspected and resist vibration due to their tamper resistant design, improving the overall safety of the scaffold structure. GuardAid® Providing best practice systems of work for operating safely at height is our top priority. GuardAid®, a scaffold positional tool, enables scaffold configurations to be erected without the risk of fall from height. T﻿he erection process ensures that the permanent guardrail is fitted before the platform is installed, and before the scaffolder ascends to the next working lift. The use of GuardAid® also ensures the scaffold structure is automatically braced. Composite Deck The composite deck is an innovative scaffolding platform manufactured from fibre glass composite material. It has been tested in accordance with EN 12811-1 and has a load capacity of class 6. Although the deck is extremely strong, it has been designed to be lightweight. This brings ergonomic benefits. The composite deck weighs 12 kg, reducing the risk of injury. The composite deck features an anti-slip surface and a flush platform, eliminating trip hazards. It is also fire, acid and alkali resistant, and fully recyclable. As well as providing safety benefits regarding lifting the product, it also speeds up assembly and dismantling. The deck is easy to manoeuvre around site and install, which maximises productivity.
