Health and Safety
First and foremost, health and safety is our number one priority. Ultimately, our services are essential health and safety requirements that help keep our clients safe. The health and well-being of our employees, clients and associates are always our first consideration, which is why we have a very proactive approach to training our employees.
We are audited regularly by industry bodies such as NICEIC, ECA, Constructionline, Safe Electric and CHAS. Internally, we hold weekly audits across all our projects alongside additional compulsory companywide health & safety training.
As a result of our stringent procedures and monitoring regimes, we have had no reportable/lost time accidents in the past 17 years.
To manage our health and safety responsibilities, we continually audit our processes, services and employees
