Health and Safety
Demolition Group Service recognises that the demolition sites are hazardous places to work and as such we consider health and safety to be of paramount importance.
All site based employees are fully trained, and training is updated on a regular basis in all aspects of health and safety and safe working procedures. All operatives are provided with the necessary PPE to carry out their operations in a safety critical manner.
The importance of health and safety awareness is communicated throughout the company and is controlled by a structured management system which has been developed in line with current legislation and industry standards.
The management system comprises six elements:
-
A documented Health and Safety Policy
-
Health and Safety Procedures
-
Environmental Policy and Procedures
-
COSHH Assessments
-
Tool Box Talks
-
BS6187:2011 Code of Practice for Demolition.
This management system is regularly reviewed and developed with consultation from our Health and Safety advisors Prime Safety Ltd.
