Health and Safety Profile
As managers are well aware, particularly of engineering companies
with labour/site intensive operations, the success of a company
depends significantly on the welfare of its staff. In turn, staff
welfare is dependent on the efficient implementation and management
of health and safety strategy. The industry has received much
media attention over incidents resulting from ineffective or lack
of Health and Safety policy. This has highlighted the need for
organisations, particularly those involved in high risk operations,
to ensure they have adequately addressed Health and Safety issues
and review policy often to ensure regulatory compliance and continued
welfare of their staff in a constantly changing environment.
Why it's important to us...
Our Health & Safety Management System and HSE philosophy support
our vision of being the principal steelwork fabricator in Wales.
This vision is only feasible with the aid of healthy, highly
motivated, success-driven staff who focus on and take personal
ownership of health and safety practices at all levels within the
organisation. We strive to facilitate an environment of wellbeing
for staff beyond legislative requirements and lead by example,
encouraging all staff and appointed contractors to strive for best
HSE practice. This ultimately facilitates a self-perpetuating
awareness and cohesive, company-wide adoption of Health & Safety
procedures.
What this means for you...
It can be challenging and resource intensive to manage and strictly
conform to the varying on-site HSE requirements of our clients,
ensuring at all times, the welfare of the combined workforce and
general public at large is safeguarded. We are adept at facilitating
our clients on-site HSE requirements fully, with minimal fuss
or disruption to the task at hand. The HSE policy we have implemented
ensures our staff are certified to current industry standards,
minimising potential delays in conforming to contract specific
HSE requirements (e.g. site induction or client specific HSE schemes)
Our practical 'from the ground up' approach to HSE policy is
based on comprehensive risk assessment and safety management
strategies. Together with our HSE advisors, we have evolved a
commitment to safety and staff welfare, engaging in open and
frequent communication with work groups, site managers and our
clients. This commitment has been instrumental in maintaining our
excellent safety record.
Our policies in action...
Job safety analyses are conducted, where potential safety or
environmental hazards are identified. Actions to prevent incidents
are discussed and implemented before commencing work on site.
Periodic safety audits are conducted on current procedures, providing
management with statistical data to identify any trends that may
require action. To gain further information on our policies in
practice, regular and random site inspections are conducted.
All on-site teams attend a daily pre-work meeting
to discuss the activities of the day and any special precautions that may be
required on the job. Any recent incidents, actual or potential, are discussed and reviewed
with a view to prevention not cure.
Regular training courses are conducted by qualified
instructors to reinforce safety practices, instruct staff on new
skill requirements and refresh employee awareness to potential
hazards.
