HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

Health and Safety

At QED we believe health & safety and the values associated with it to be the main consideration of any modern, forward thinking organisation and the welfare of employees and members of the public alike taking precedence over all else.

In order to achieve this we strive to give all our employees the best possible training and back up possible. To this end all employees have achieved the required CSCS / CPCS accreditation commensurate with their on site activities and responsibilities.

We also place great emphasis on continuing development and training with most employees currently enrolled on either NVQ level 2 or 3 courses with Preston College.

In order to ensure that standards are maintained, sites receive regular visits from our independent health & safety advisors, ATG Ltd.

Copies of our Health & Safety and Environmental Policy are available on request.
