Safety
& Risk Management
As
the highest priority in the company philosophy the management of
Health & Safety is uppermost in the minds of all staff.
Over the years we have developed our safety & environmental
procedures and policies to such a level that our external audit
results are within the highest percentile when compared with industry
standards. We have a clearly defined set of policies and rules
covering :
-
Health & Safety at work in accordance with the 1974 Act
-
Safety management organisation and responsibilities
-
On-site clearly defined working rules to protect both our employees
and staff of the clients
-
Training of all our staff
-

Cleaning operative safety rules and practices
All new employees prior to commencing work on a client site undergo
essential training to ensure they can undertake basic tasks
associated with cleaning requirements. All staff have individual
training cards for clear identification of their basic skills and
competancy levels. Such training record cards are constantly updated
as skill levels develop. All new employees are also presented with
company "New Starter Packs" covering safety and
environmental information. This document covers such issues as :
