Safety & Wellbeing
Safety is our highest priority
Our impeccable safety record and robust systems support our strong health and safety culture.
We are committed to ensuring that everyone is always kept safe and well, whether they are working on a site, in an office or at home. The safety and wellbeing of our workforce and the suppliers who support us in delivering essential services are of utmost importance to us. This is embedded through our ethos of Work Together > Safe Together, which promotes a supportive environment, where colleague are safe, protected and feel empowered to speak up.
Work Together > Safe Together
Our Work Together Safe > Together practices are categorised under three core areas of focus which create the right behaviours to support a strong safety culture:
- Be Protected
- Stay Healthy
- Feel Empowered
This ethos is at the heart of providing an expert, responsible and agile service to our clients and our communities.
Accreditations
We are committed to providing enhanced assurances regarding our health and safety, quality and environmental management standards.
Wellbeing
We believe that looking after mental health is just as important as looking after physical health.
Mental health issues are prevalent in the construction industry and we want to remove the silence and stigma surrounding mental health by promoting a culture of positive wellbeing at work. Our open and supportive working environment encourages colleagues to talk about how they feel and to give each other support. This is reinforced in our Work Together > Safe Together ethos and in our values.
As part of this approach, we have teamed up with Mates in Mind and Salary Finance and our colleagues have chosen Mind as our charity partner for the next two years. These partnerships enable us to provide our colleagues with support and guidance on how to effectively manage mental health and their finances.
Policies
We have robust policies and procedures in place with ongoing training that support our colleagues in making the right decisions and maintaining proactive health and safety practices that ensure everyone is kept safe and well.
