Quality, Health, Safety & Environment
Our Commitment to Individual Ownership
In any organisation, the question of responsibility for quality and health & safety often arises. The benchmark for the quality of our work and safe operational practices are demonstrated by our products, services and commitment of our team.
Our solution is to empower individuals to take responsibility and ownership in everything they do. This doesn't mean an overwhelming workload for every engineer and employee. Instead, it means that each person, along with their team, is focused on working to the best of their ability and contributing towards enhancing the quality of our work and adherence to health and safety regulations. This gives our customers and our employees the assurances we can achieve our aims of quality and growth which are core elements upon which the company was founded. This enables everyone to reap the benefits.
To support all our endeavours, we encourage a culture of continuous improvement, especially in regard to health & safety training. Our goal is to create a company that is synonymous with both quality and safety.
Mental and Physical Wellbeing
We prioritise both the mental and physical wellbeing of all our employees. We encourage every employee to keep an open dialogue with our trained Workplace Mental Health First Aiders and Mental Health Responders so we can support them where possible. Our yearly occupational health surveillance ensures their physical well-being is being catered for as our team is paramount to our success.
Our dedication to the health and safety of our team, visitors to our site and our sub-contractors is evident through the strict H&S procedures and protocols we have implemented, such as enforcing the use of our dedicated pedestrian walkways around our site and providing comprehensive health and safety inductions. We regularly hold toolbox talks and discussions are integrated into every management meeting. As we recognise that health and safety is an ongoing journey and not a destination, that is why we cultivate a culture of continuous improvement.
Every interaction, whether its routine toolbox talks or comprehensive management meetings, serves as a platform for evolving our practices. We meticulously manage daily risk for such things as hazardous substances, which, is supported by a comprehensive COSHH data sheet covering all processed materials. Additionally, we conduct robust weekly and monthly Health and Safety audits to ensure adherence to procedures.
This confirms that our health, safety and wellbeing commitment is not just a priority—it is THE PRIORITY deeply embedded in our organisations culture always with an eye on better working practices while maintaining our exacting standards.
Engineering a Sustainable Future
We are dedicated to environmental sustainability, constantly striving to minimise our impact on the planet. We have taken significant steps to introduce a greener type of manufacturing, focusing on waste reduction, energy use reduction and recycling initiatives. All with the intention of lowering our carbon footprint.
One notable achievement has been the complete transition to energy-efficient lighting, resulting in a reduction of our carbon footprint by two thousand tons per year. We are also in the process of revamping the cladding across our entire site to increase heat retention, this again supports our commitment to further reduce our environmental impact.
In addition, we plan to transition our heating systems from gas to electric, representing another significant step towards sustainability.
Together, these initiatives are projected to reduce our carbon footprint by twenty five thousand tons per year, aligning with our commitment to environmental stewardship and responsible business practices.
