HEALTH & SAFETY
Height-Rite Scaffolding recognises that current legislation sets minimum standards for the industry. Sometimes, where necessary, higher standards are set to protect the health and safety of all company employees. We take this extremely seriously and we fully integrate Health & Safety into all of our operations to esnure the success of the company.
General
All employees at Height-Rite Scaffolding receive regular health and safety training from bout in-house and external sources. This training can vary from general health and safety awareness to specific subjects, such as CISRS training, Asbestos awareness, working at height or changes in industry best practices.
If there are any legislative or industry best practice changes that can affect our business, we will ensure that all employees are provided with the appropriate training and ensure that they are kept fully informed regarding any required or agreed changes.
Information & Instruction
Height-Rite Scaffolding recognises the importance of a good health and safety culture and that the safety of its employees is our number one priority. We consider the passing of information to operatives as an essential training tool in health and safety and use inductions, site-specific method statements and risk assessments to achieve these aims and to enable them to carry out their duties both responsibly and safely.
Safety Alerts and site meetings also ensure that the health and safety of our employees and our clients remain a high priority. Our dedicated Company Health and Safety Director monitors all health and safety activity to ensure that it is carried out correctly and that all training and documents are up to date.
Inspection & Auditing
Height-Rite Scaffolding employees scaffolders who are CISRS qualified for their field operations. This includes the erection, adapting and dismantling of scaffolds.
All operations in the workplace are monitored and audited regularly to ensure they are up to date. Records of these findings of any workplace audits are kept on file and registered to the operations being audited. We also pass details of these audits to our clients.
Accidents
At Height-Rite Scaffolding, we do appreciate that accidents can and do sometimes happen. We operate a zero-tolerance to accidents, but if any were to happen, these accidents are fully investigated and reported by our Health and Safety director. The main objective of all investigations is to prevent any further accidents of this kind.
