Health and Safety

Taking the initiative with our ACTIVE approach

Health and Safety is the single most important aspect of our business and we take a proactive approach to ensure a safe and healthy environment for all.

Our award-winning ACTIVE campaign (Aware Compliant Trained Informed Vigilant Effective) raises awareness of Health and Safety amongst staff and sub-contractors. As a result, performance improves year on year and we have achieved industry top quartile position in the Constructing Excellence table and won the coveted Construction Industry Awards ‘Silver Helmet’ for Health and Safety. All of our site staff carry CSCS cards, while all sites are registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme.
