Case Study -
Bridge Community Centre & Student Accommodation
Following the award of this prestigious £4.5million contract to John Murray & Co, Sandwick Management Systems were engaged to produce the ‘for construction phase’ Health and Safety Plan and to act as Safety Consultants throughout the project.
Along with the normal Safety Management Procedures required for a complex site with up to forty workers, key strategies were adopted to ensure full compliance with all aspects of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and all subsequent amending regulations.
Key Strategy 1
Comprehensive site start induction for all John Murray employees, in one place at one time. This Site Safety Awareness training proved invaluable in ensuring a positive working environment through out the contract.
Key Strategy 2
Continual Safety Monitoring and Review, involving twice weekly visits and inspections with follow up reports and action points to the Managing Director.
Key Strategy 3
Direct involvement with key players on site (including sub-contractors) and employees as necessary.
To maintain high levels of compliance, it was necessary to engage with workers, on the job, in their own environment to ensure that their own personal safety awareness and management was up to the company standard.
This project is now nearing Completion.
