Health & Safety

News: Bethell Construction achieves ‘Gold’ safety accreditation

The importance of good health and safety is evident to anyone who has seen the consequences of health and safety failure.

We have an experienced and highly qualified HSQE (Health, Safety, Quality & Environment) department dedicated to improving all of these four areas within the business.

Our safety record is good and subject to continuous improvement and a fully integrated ‘safety first’ culture at all levels within the company is now in place.

Regular HSQE meetings are attended by all employees and sub-contractors highlight areas requiring additional focus. It is our policy to place Health & Safety as the first item on the agenda at every internal meeting and is subject to weekly conference calls, thereby ensuring that it is treated with the priority it deserves.

Near Misses and Hazards

Bethell has a Near Misses and hazards reporting procedure in place to prevent accidents. If an employee notices something which isn’t the way it should be, he or she can call a dedicated safety hotline number to inform the team immediately.  Alternatively, the matter can be raised during daily interaction with the safety team, by reporting to a supervisor or by filling out a report sheet.

All information submitted is always investigated by a member of the safety management team and the outcome is always fed back.

A high street voucher scheme, rewarding the best safety suggestions, is also in place as an additional incentive.

At Bethell safety is everyone’s responsibility.
