Health & Safety

Wright Engineering has experienced the Health and Safety systems in the UK evolve over the last 25 years at first hand.  We have worked on projects with some of the most forward thinking and safety conscious organisations during this period.  This has enabled us to develop and hone our own Health and Safety systems, firstly to comply with these companies’ requirements on their sites, but ultimately to institute and maintain our own extensive Health and Safety system and culture.

We have concentrated our efforts on developing a simple yet comprehensive system which has become an intergral part of our project design and planning system. The key corner stones are

  • All our site personnel are our own employees, inducted into Wright Engineering, trained, monitored and adjudged competent for the tasks to which they are assigned.
  • All our employees are health screened annually by our fully trained and qualified company nurse
  • We employ a full time NEBOSH Qualified Safety Manager
  • Our site managers and site supervisors are qualified to IOSH management of safety standards.
  • All our site personnel hold Client/Contractor National Safety Group (CCNSG) “Passports to Safety”.
  • Attain and keep accreditations with Achilles and SafeContractor 

 

By training our personnel in to the health and safety way of thinking, we believe they then look at tasks in the correct way and request the necessary health and safety information.  We also give all our personnel the authority and confidence to refuse to perform tasks if they are not satisfied with the health and safety information they are given.

 

With regard to the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, we have developed a standard site health and safety file which accompanies all personnel when they attend site.  This contains;

  • Method Statements for the work to be carried out
  • Risk Assessments for the tasks to be carried out
  • Safe Systems of Work, drawn up be us to provide protection and control measures to be employed when undertaking activities such as
    • Working at height
    • Hot work
    • Lifting Operations
    • Working with MEWPs, Telehandlers or Forklift Trucks
  • Current Company Insurance Cover Notes
  • Certificates and Licenses of all employees
  • Blank pads of “On the job” risk assessments which are given to team leaders and used where they feel that the task requires further assessment due to changes in site conditions, task scope, etc.

 

In addition, our site managers and supervisors are equipped with laptops with direct access to our company server.  This allows access to all our safety documentation, employee certificates and ensures that our safety paperwork remains current on site.

 

This approach has ensured that Wright Engineering is seen as a “safe pair of hands” for many “blue chip” organisations in the UK.  Only our consistently high level of performance on site with regard to safety as well as quality and timescale, have allowed us to continue to provide site installation teams for companies such as Lafarge, British Gypsum, Tarmac, Bovis Lend Lease and Lentjes for so many years. We have, and continue to operate in, the building materials, power station, news print and waste sectors, complying with all their complex requirements.

 

We are committed to continue our development of our Health and Safety Systems to ensure that we are at the forefront and leaders in our industry.
