Commitment – Health & Safety has always been an integral aspect of Fireshield’s business arrangements; however there has been a considerable step change in how our Clients manage their responsibilities which in turn requires us to review our systems.

Co-ordination – As such an Action Plan has been prepared through 2008, to facilitate a systematic review & revision of our Safety Management procedures; with the Directors taking an active part in its preparation & delivery.

Competence – Training plans have been in place through our Construction Industry Training Board association and plans for developing our demonstrable competence, as required by CDM 2007, are being implemented at all levels of the business.

Competent Advice – A new Appointment for H&S Consultants was made in June 2008, with AKS Ltd providing a level of technical support, training resource & on-site advisory assistance as required, as required by the management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999.

Health Protection – Some products within our range of services have a recognisably hazardous component of Xylene, which we are actively investigating the occupational health effects for our staff & 3rd parties with a specialist advisor for COSHH related Health Attention.

Scope – Fireshield work with a variety of Client activities, and we are working to ensure that our systems are robust & procedurally correct; using the model HS(G) 65 “Successful Health & Safety Management” as advocated by the HSE.

Leadership – This is our public profile for Health & safety and is supported by the Directors, any person is welcome to challenge Fireshield on the progress being made or whether particular aspects are being addressed. We have a very good Health & Safety record, but are not resting on our laurels. It is our business, our staff & our responsibility to ensure that the Health & safety of all persons affected by or involved with our work is assured.
