Our Health and Safety Policy describes the management arrangements, organisation and responsibilities throughout the company for delivering our commitment on Health and Safety.
We employ R.G.WILBREY Consultants Ltd as our dedicated health and safety advisers, who are instrumental in ensuring that all employees are made aware of, and discharge their individual responsibilities.

MEC makes proper provision for the health and safety of all employees and those in the community who may be affected by its activities.

Our aim is to reduce the health and safety and environmental impact of our activities by utilising a risk management approach. Taking into account the needs of our clients and the public.
The company is committed to effective communication and consultation on health and safety plus the environment and therefore work closely with other organisations to find new ways of improving standards. By being pro active in identifying areas and events where knowledge can be gained we enhance and improve our safety standards.

Regular safety inspections carried out by our consultants are carried out on all sites. This incorporates the use of inductions, method statements
risk assessments on site training and regular reviews.

Company policy is for everyone to achieve CSCS attainment for employees known as the Construction Skills Certification scheme. Marshall Errock Construction Ltd achieved CHAS  accreditation in June 2009, which further reflects our commitment to health and safety.

Target

Any construction site, whether large or small, offers ideal scope for personal injury and dangerous occurrences, making on-site health and safety a major priority within Marshall Errock Construction.

MEC attaches the greatest importance to the safety of employees and sub-contractors and will pursue policies designed to ensure that, as far as is reasonably practicable, will provide a safe and healthy working environment and safe methods of working.

Our policy cannot operate without the full consultation and co-operation of all employees. A high priority is placed on hazards prevention by management and staff working together to identify those situations which could lead to personal injury and could put colleagues at risk or other persons by rectifying these situations before accidents occur. Employees at MEC are expected to read our policy and will be expected to produce a signature as proof of understanding.

The company aim is:

1. Surpass the minimum industry standards.
2. Protect the health of all employees and those in the community.
3. Have zero injuries and environmental issues.
4. Continually challenge and improve health and safety.

Competent people will be appointed to assist us in meeting our statutory duties including, where appropriate, specialists from outside the organisation.

The co-operation of every employee is essential to ensure the compliance of all statutory duties. The successful implementation of this policy requires total commitment from all levels of employee. Each individual has a legal obligation to take reasonable care for his or her own health and safety, and for the safety of other people who may be affected by his or her acts or omissions.
