Health & Safety

We do not compromise when it comes to Health and Safety. We aim to be a recognised leader in Health and Safety in the construction sector.

Managing Health And Safety

We have well-established policies and systems in place to manage Health and Safety, that are continually reviewed and updated to reflect or improve industry best practice.

All contracts are regularly assessed for Health and Safety risks. Company managers continually discuss health and safety matters with people at all levels, on and off-site.
