Health, safety & environment

Qualified people.
Safety first.

Safe working starts with the right people, clear planning and a team that understands the job. Our approach puts the wellbeing of operatives, clients and the public at the centre of every project.

Our project track record

50+ completed projects.
Zero health & safety incidents.

No health and safety incidents across our project experience. That record reinforces our focus on planning, competent people and clear site communication on every job.

People & competence

The right training.
For the right task.

Our team brings practical experience and relevant qualifications to site. Cards, training and competence are matched to each operative’s role, the equipment being used and the project requirements.

CSCS & CPCS

Our operatives are trained and qualified for their duties. Relevant CSCS cards support site roles, with CPCS qualifications matched to the machines and operations undertaken.

Face fit & respiratory protection

Face fit testing for operatives using tight-fitting respiratory protection, matched to the specific mask model and size. Suitable RPE forms part of the task’s dust-control measures.

First aid provision

Trained first aiders form part of our team. First-aid arrangements, equipment and emergency contacts are agreed for each site and communicated to the workforce.

Asbestos awareness

Awareness training helps our operatives recognise potential asbestos risks. Suspected materials trigger a stop, isolation of the area and notification to site management. Awareness training does not authorise asbestos removal.

Manual handling

Manual handling training supports safer lifting and carrying. We plan loads, access and handling methods, using mechanical aids or team lifts where appropriate.

Training matched to the task

Machine and attachment competence, site requirements and refresher training are considered before work begins. Relevant cards and training records can be discussed during project onboarding.

Planning & communication

Safety is part
of the job.

From the first site discussion to the final clear-up, our safety approach focuses on practical controls, clear responsibilities and communication with everyone involved.

01

Plan before starting

Site-specific risk assessments and method statements (RAMS), together with COSHH assessments where required, set out the work sequence, hazards and controls. We coordinate with the client and principal contractor on site arrangements.

02

Brief the team

Site inductions, task briefings and regular toolbox talks reinforce safe working. Topics include service strikes, excavation, plant movements, dust, lifting, manual handling and housekeeping. Briefings are revisited when conditions change.

03

Keep people and plant safe

Plan pedestrian routes, exclusion zones and plant movements. Check machines, attachments and lifting accessories before use, with inspection and examination requirements matched to the equipment and task.

04

Control excavation risks

Review service information, scan and locate underground services, and use permit-to-dig arrangements where required. Plan suitable trench support or safe battering, access and inspections for the ground conditions.

05

Protect health

Use suitable PPE alongside controls for dust, noise and vibration. Consider dust suppression or extraction, welfare, safe handling of substances and task-appropriate respiratory protection.

06

Report and respond

Agree emergency procedures before starting. Encourage operatives to stop and raise concerns if work becomes unsafe, and report incidents and near misses so controls can be reviewed.

If it is not safe, stop and speak up.

Every operative should be able to raise a concern. Changed ground conditions, unexpected services or suspect materials mean the task is paused and the working method reviewed before continuing.

Waste & the environment

Leave the site
in good order.

Waste management belongs in the plan from the outset. Our approach aims to reduce unnecessary waste, protect the surroundings and keep disposal traceable.

Separate & recover

Plan storage and segregation of suitable waste streams, prioritising reuse and recycling where appropriate. Keep hazardous or suspect materials separate for specialist assessment and handling.

Use authorised routes

Arrange waste movements through appropriately registered carriers and authorised receiving facilities. Keep the required waste transfer or consignment documentation for the waste being moved.

Protect the surroundings

Maintain good housekeeping and clear access routes. Plan controls for dust, spills, runoff and mud leaving site, with consideration for neighbouring properties and the public.
