Safety, health, environment and quality (SHEQ) is at the heart of all our operations. it is easy to say, but we really do mean<br />
it and we do our utmost to live up to the ethos that all our workers should go home safe at the end of every working day.<br />
Our Managing Director has been a key advocate in proactive health and safety since the company formed. We put paramount<br />
importance on the health and safety of all <strong>OCL</strong> personnel, from those who work in the office staff to those who are out<br />
working on site.<br />
We have mature management systems in place including policy statements which set out our intentions, supported by our<br />
procedures and flow charts implementing our intentions and a full range of forms and templates covering all of our operations.<br />
We hold certifications with CHaS, ConstructionLine, Safe Contractor, RiSQS and FORS. Our SHEQ management systems have<br />
been accredited to iSO 9001, 14001 and OHSaS 18001 through aCM Cert Ltd for the past three years. We are audited on an<br />
annual basis by aCM, FORS, achilles and seek to continuously improve our systems.<br />
We have had no RiDDORs, no enforcement notices and no actions taken against the company in all the years we have been<br />
operating. We don't rest on our laurels however, we continue to be as proactive as possible in terms of:<br />
• Communicating health and safety information to our operatives through monthly bulletins and regular toolbox talks;<br />
• Being visible on site, carrying out site inspections and reporting on good practices as well as non-compliance's;<br />
• Sharing good practice with operatives and rewarding positive behaviors;<br />
• Ongoing development of all personnel to ensure we have a good cross section of experience, skills and knowledge;<br />
• Obtaining feedback from our clients as well as operatives, and taking action where it is required;<br />
• Encouraging suggestions for improvement from all personnel;<br />
• Collaborative working with our clients and other contractors to ensure we are all working towards the same common goals.<br />
We don't just see health and safety as a legal requirement - we see it is a moral obligation. We embrace health and safety<br />
as a culture within the company and is therefore at the heart of all we do.<br />
This has been evident and recognised by TFL via <strong>OCL</strong> projects and the sites worked on by <strong>OCL</strong> operatives obtaining beacon status.<br />
The Beacon Site Standard, is contained in 5 interrelated themes, these are:<br />
• Consideration<br />
• Environment<br />
• Cleanliness<br />
• Safety and Health<br />
• Management & values<br />
