Our responsibilities both to your employees and users of your sites as well as to our own employees are of paramount importance.
How do we put this into practice?
For your Safety
A thorough analysis of every site is undertaken before any work is carried out. Any permanent obstructions or items of particular concern are recorded in a file specific to each of your sites. This standard practice ensures that our workers are aware of any potential hazards.
This would include:
- Power Lines
- Pedestrian Access points
- Footpaths
- Nearby Power Lines (Under 5 Metres from work area)
- Telephone lines entering a building
- Potentially slippery surfaces
Protective measures might well include:
- Cordoning off areas where work is being carried out.
- The use of high visibility warning signs and cones to ensure that people avoid walking too close to our workmen.
- The use of “Trip Hazard” signs when and where necessary.
- Under certain circumstances it is only practical to access a building outside of work hours; this can be arranged where necessary.
All of our vans are equipped with these standard safety tools and their use is considered obligatory by our site operatives. We pride ourselves in knowing that every necessary precaution is taken to ensure that both you and those using your sites are kept safe.
For Our Safety All of our site operatives undergo in-house training. They will accompany more experienced workers to gain insight into best practice and techniques before being allowed to clean sites on their own. Each employee is made aware of the Health and Safety issues relating to his work. Regular meetings with management ensure that our employees can voice any concerns and that any new directives from the Health and Safety Executive can be discussed. All of our equipment is regularly inspected to ensure that it is in perfect working order. A log is kept to ensure that the inspections have been carried out and will be countersigned at regular intervals by a manager. This fundamental routine puts less strain on all of our workers and ensures that you receive the best results possible.
A programme of ongoing training and reminders of best practice ensures that the Health and Safety of our team is kept to the forefront of our concerns. |
