Health & Safety Legislation on corporate killing makes companies and organisations liable for deaths due to poor safety management.
Letchworth Roofing works closely with its safety consultants on:
- Safety policy and operating procedures
- Regular safety training and monitoring
- Guidance on Construction, Design and Management regulations
- Random on-site safety audits
High risks apply on roofing work, whether the project is large-scale sheeting or minor repairs to an asbestos cement roof which is why the HSE are so keen to see unnecessary external roofing work eliminated if there is an alternative - see the Filon Fixsafe system.
Letchworth Roofing allocates substantial resources to Health and Safety Training. Kerry Young (Quality & Safety Co-ordinator) reports directly to our Managing Director Tony Watkins and is responsible for the Health, Safety & Welfare of our employees and members of the public.
All employees attend a formal Health and Safety Course every 6 months, this covers all aspects of Health and Safety Legislation and examples of topics covered are: Working at Height, Asbestos Awareness, Manual Handling, CDM.
Risk Management Solutions are retained as Health and Safety Consultants. They offer advice on Health, Safety and Environmental issues and undertake monthly site audits to monitor H&S performance.
