Health and Safety
The construction industry has made great strides in recent years to change the reputation it once had as a dangerous working environment. Whilst risks still remain, the work of such bodies as the Health and Safety Executive and the Construction Industry Training Board has lead to a dramatic rise in standards.
Here at Hambling Construction, we are very proud of our record, going to great lengths to ensure the safety of employees and visitors alike:
- We employ the services of outside contractor Drury PSM Ltd, who provide professional health and safety advice to us through a dedicated, 24 hour phone advice line. Drury also assisted us in putting together our comprehensive Health and Safety Policy.
- We are members of both CHAS (Construction Health and Safety) and Constructionline. Both accreditations require a thorough audit of our health and safety procedures and policies on an annual basis.
- Membership of Preston Construction Safety Group. The Group carries out random, unannounced audits of all our work sites, to ensure that our operatives are complying with the strict health and safety procedures we have in place.
- All Site Foreman/Managers hold a 5-day CITB SMSTS (Site Managers Safety Trainign Scheme) Certificate and a 4-day St John's Ambulance First Aid Certificate.
Please view the training section of the website for a full list of health and safety courses we have conducted for Managers and Operatives.
