Health & Safety

CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme)
Our staff have completed Health & Safety Tests to gain their CSCS Cards.

A Construction Skills Certification Scheme (CSCS) card is a way to prove that our staff are competent in their occupation and have health and safety awareness, and can be used as instant identification when they arrive on site.

CSCS is fast becoming the industry standard. It is supported by organisations such as the Major Contractors Group (MCG), National Contractors Federation (NCF), Major Home Builders Group (MHBG) and Civil Engineering Contractors Association (CECA) all of whom are committed to a fully qualified workforce by the end of 2010.

Major clients are requesting that their contractors have a CSCS carded workforce. These include government, housing associations, NHS projects and private clients.

IPAF (International Powered Access Federation)
Our staff have completed training to gain IPAF PAL Licence Cards, which enables us to promote the use of safe working practices in the operation of mobile elevating work platforms and thereby make a positive contribution to the prevention of accidents.

There is increasing legislation covering the operators of powered access equipment. But apart from EC Directives and Health & Safety legislation, there are also the growing demands of our customers that all of their suppliers meet accepted quality and safety standards.

A Powered Access Licence Card issued by IPAF carries all the key facts people need to know. It states who the person is and what equipment they are trained to operate.
