Professional Standards

Health and Safety

All employees are registered under the Construction Skills Certification Scheme. This means they have been independently assessed as having the necessary skills and training to work safely and effectively on a construction site.

We employ independent safety advisers who inspect our sites regularly.

Our training programmes and policies have been developed in line with the requirements of Investors in People for which we are accredited.

All of our mini piling rigs are guarded in accordance with the latest health and safely regulations.
