Health and safety is a major part of any company or individual at work today regardless of the work or business being undertaken. Limewood Builders is a keen advocate of ensuring the health & safety of all its employees and its customers including those that may be affected by the work being undertaken, be it neighbours or people close to the work.
Limewood Builders has processes in place to ensure compliance with all health & safety matters. Whether in our offices or on our sites we have procedures to ensure compliance with our obligations.
“Limewood Builders ensures our staff are trained to high standards when it comes to health & safety. For the customer, this compliance starts at the design stage and is an important part of any consideration when looking at the design and the work required to achieve that design. It is imperative that the access and working spaces will provide all tradesmen with a safe working environment and the materials they are required to use are also safe to work with. More importantly, we need to consider the health & safety of our customers and anyone who is either within the environment of the building work or is a visitor or passerby to it.”
We must ensure within our assessments at any stage of the building process that we consider the impact of this work and its effect on the safety of others. Any building work we consider at design or during the building process must be formally assessed and any defined risks quantified and managed accordingly. This is not only an important factor when undertaking the work but also when work has finished for the day or week and the building area is left unmanned. Preventable accidents can occur at this time, so we implement risk aversion strategies to meet health & safety obligations, including those of the customer under legal regulations.
So as a customer it is important that you are aware that just because you have a building company in to do your work that you are still potentially liable as the property or land owner. Even if you choose another provider, ensure they comply with all obligations and clearly explain yours.
Picking up on that point in the event of an accident occurring, which can happen even when the risk is managed correctly, you must satisfy yourself as a customer that your preferred builder is suitably insured to cover any damage or injury occurring during the building stage of the work required.
