Hygienic has a low accident statistic record. All our sub-contractors must comply with our own
Health & Safety requirements, details can be provided upon request.
Health and Safety Awareness
All personnel engaged by the Company are regularly involved in Health & Safety issues. It is the foreman’s responsibility to inform his Supervisor and the Management of any non conformances on each job. Health & Safety meetings are held to discuss every aspect of the previous week’s work to ensure that the foremen are satisfied. We believe it is vital for employees input into Health & Safety.
The following are carried out and reports submitted to the foreman prior to work commencing:-
- Risk Assessments- each job is risk assessed, listing any hazards which may apply on site.
- Method of Work Statement is compiled detailing the safe correct manor the work is to be carried out following risks identified from Risk Assessment.
- The team foreman is responsible for his team and has a Supervisor who can be contacted throughout the working activity to discuss any queries or additional requirements they may request.
