Health, safety and wellbeing – success is no accident

Proactively preventing accidents

We all have a moral obligation to each other to identify the unsafe acts and unsafe conditions which can lead to accidents and to act to prevent them wherever we can. Our helpline is available to all personnel 24/7 to provide advice, report hazards and incidents and raise any ideas for improvement. We use dynamic on-line technologies to enable our resources to report hazards or ideas which will enhance safety. This means instant feedback is given to the relevant management team and is tracked to closure by our Compliance Team. With rewards for those who identify and resolve the hazards within our business, there is never a shortage of reporting and ideas.

Wellbeing and mental health awareness

Our employees really are the centre of everything we do;  we recognise the importance of ensuring their wellbeing in the workplace.  That’s why we have established a wide number of proactive steps, programmes and events to engage them.  These include;

• Employee benefits package including PERKS, access to help and support phone lines
• Occupational health
• Ongoing monitoring of work performance by both line managers and independent quality assessors, so that we know when someone might need more support or guidance
• Investment in training programmes to develop employees
• Regular employee engagement activities
• Fantastic support for local charities where we can make a difference 
• Rolling out a programme to train mental health champions across the business

We are supporters of the Mates in Mind charity, specifically aimed at those working in the construction industry. This provides our personnel with access to specialist help and support.
