safety in all things

Gregory Thain has always taken the matter of Health & Safety very seriously resulting in a very low accident statistics over the years, the company has received no improvement notices or prohibition notices.

It is the company’s ethos that Health & Safety is as major a consideration as profit and turnover.

Good client relationships can only be maintained through a well trained, safe and motivated workforce.

Every effort is therefore given to ensuring that the workforce considers they have ownership of the safety systems of the company. This is achieved by consultation, training, encouraging accident and incident reporting and setting targets.

To assist us in maintaining high levels of Health & Safety we employ a consultancy and training company who deals with all training of our operatives and also produces our construction phase health and safety plans, method statements, risk assessments, C.O.S.H.H. assessments etc.

All our sites are visited regularly by another safety consultancy company who carries out site monitoring and on site training in the use of hand tools, following every visit by them a full report is provided where any recommendation are addressed immediately.

The company fully complies with the Health and Safety at work act 1974, and other relevant legislation and meets the standard required to protect all our employees and sub-contractors who under take work on our behalf.
