Health, Safety & Safeguarding
Working within occupied social housing requires strict health and safety protocols and absolute trust. Our operational standards protect your reputation and tenants:
Comprehensive RAMS:
We undertake a series of Risk Assessments and Method Statements to cover the significant hazards across our work activities. This includes specific task-based RAMS for complex activities, such as using access equipment for working at height. We review these assessments on a frequency based on risk.
Continuous Staff Training:
Our employees are trained regularly and commensurate with their duties in accordance with our training matrix. This encompasses rigorous training in asbestos awareness, manual handling, safe working at height, and Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (CoSHH).
Tenant Safeguarding & Site Care:
Our fully DBS-checked technicians are suitably trained to ensure their knowledge of the importance of the care required when working in clients' premises. We employ strict protocols when children, vulnerable adults, or animals are present. To maintain a safe environment, our teams ensure that equipment or substances are never left unattended.
Expert Health & Safety Partnerships:
To ensure continuous improvement and strict compliance, we partner with registered Health and Safety Consultants (The RedCat Partnership Ltd). They actively assist in developing our policies, Risk Assessments, Method Statements, and check sheets, providing you with total peace of mind regarding our operational safety.
