Health and Safety Policies and risk assessments in the construction industry are very important to prevent accidents and deaths. There has been a significant reduction in the number of H&S incidents in recent years. This is due in part to industry accreditation and other bodies such as the Health and Safety Executive promoting rigid policies and procedures for all companies.
Our Experience With Health and Safety Policies for the Construction Industry
At Policy Pros, we have a great deal of experience working with construction companies. We write Health, mainly for the following sectors:
- Construction (building, demolition).
- Electrical (Installation, testing).
- Gas (Fitting, Testing)
- Plumbing (Installation, Fixing, Testing).
- Painting (Interior and Exterior).
- Roofing Services (Installation, Maintenance).
Other Company Types
Also, Health and Safety policies are required for any company that:
- Has access to hazardous materials
- Needs to be asbestos aware
- Works at height
- Is working with power tools
- Works in environments where there are noise and vibration
- Uses plant equipment
- Performs Manual Handling tasks
Requirements for Health and Safety Policies
It is now common for commercial work to require a Construction Health and Safety Policy and Risk Assessment completing before work commences. Therefore, you will also find that it will become mandatory for insurance companies to check your Construction Health and Safety Policy. It is required the conditions are being followed either before or after an incident is reported.
