We employ an internal Health and Safety Manager, who holds NEBOSH qualifications in Fire Safety and Risk Management and Occupational Safety and Health and has also obtained a Technical Membership with ISOH (TechIOSH) which recognises the qualifications and competence needed by professionals working in a range of operational health and safety roles. Managing our requirements in house allows us to not only comply with regulatory standards but to fully promote and implement safer practices for a healthier environment for all staff.
We also have in house Invigilation for ECS Health & Safety Assessments to ensure that all employees meet the required health and safety standards.
There is a programme of continuous improvement for site staff to ensure that all have the necessary health and safety training and we have invested heavily in additional task specific training such as IPAF and PASMA.
To help us manage our health and safety responsibilities we also employ the services of The Health and Safety People.
