Health & Safety
Health and Safety remains one of our highest priorities and Ardmore’s reputation for zero accidents is well documented by our numerous safety awards and achievements. Once such example is where we delivered over 800 apartments for a single client spanning 2 million accident free hours.
Although statistics, policies and registrations are of vital importance in demonstrating and providing confidence in our high standards of competence, at Ardmore we believe that Health and Safety is fundamentally about the protection and well-being of our staff, operatives and the communities in which we work as well as the end users of our buildings. To achieve our aims we require every manager and supervisor to make health and safety their number one priority throughout the design and construction process.
- Every manager and supervisor must be able to demonstrate awareness, competence and initiative.
- No task is so urgent that we will not take the time to find a safe way of carrying it out, and consult the people who do the work.
- Health and safety must be visible in everything we do, and must be vigorously pursued until our goal is achieved.
- Each project and workshop must encourage two-way communication.
To implement these objectives the following key performance indicators are measured:
- Visible leadership actions
- 100% foot, hand and eye protection
- 100% skills cards
- 100% management safety training
- Daily ‘safe start’ meetings
- Leadership team meetings
- 100% risk assessments / method statements
- 100% induction and tool box talks
Ardmore has achieved and is committed to maintaining BS OHSAS 18001:2007 (Health and Safety Management), ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental Management), ISO 9001:2008 (Quality Management), CHAS, Constructionline, Building Confidence and has a policy for 100% Considerate Constructor Scheme registration and a target to achieve 100% Performance Beyond Compliance.
