Health & Safety Information

Safeway Scaffolding Limited appreciates that good health and safety is an essential tool in the success of the company and fully integrates health and safety in all its operations. The company recognises that current legislation sets minimum standards for the industry and where necessary set higher standards than the minimum to protect the health and safety of all company employees.

Our company health and safety statement places emphasis on the prevention of accidents and the implementation of safe systems of work; the company is fully committed to achieving these aims.

Employees of the company regularly receive health and safety training in the form of in-house and/or external training. This training can be general health and safety awareness or on specific subjects such as CISRS training of scaffolders, general working at height; asbestos awareness, or on changes in legislation or industry best practices. (I.e. SG4:22 and TG20:21)

Where legislative or industry best practice changes affect our business, appropriate training and changes in our work methods are arranged with our staff and operatives kept fully informed of any required and agreed changes.

The company also recognises the role of its employees in achieving a good health and safety culture and the safety of its employees; we therefore place great emphasis on the passing of information to its employees to enable them to carry out their duties both responsibly and safely. We consider the passing of information to operatives as an essential training tool in health and safety and use inductions; toolbox talks and site-specific method statements and risk assessments to achieve these aims.

Safety Alerts and site meetings also ensure that the health and safety of our employees and our clients remain a high priority. The issue and administration of these documents is monitored and directed through our dedicated Company Health and Safety Director.

The company employs fully qualified CISRS operatives for their field operations in the erections, adapting and dismantling of scaffolds.

All operations of operatives in the workplace are monitored and audited regularly by our own company Directors. Records of these findings of any workplace audits are kept on file and registered to the operations being audited. We also pass details of these audits to our clients.
