At ES Steel Solutions, we’ve been delivering complex construction projects within the Nuclear and Defence sectors for over 20 years. Our experience in supporting large-scale Defence projects and bespoke Nuclear installations across UK licensed sites has earned us a reputation for handling some of the most hazardous and challenging construction projects in the country. Here’s how we ensure a positive health and safety culture:
1. Leadership
True leadership at ES Steel Solutions means leading by example. Our leaders set clear expectations, provide necessary resources, and remain open to feedback. They don’t expect you to do anything they wouldn’t do themselves. Consistency in actions and decisions, coupled with appropriate training for all levels, underscores our commitment to safety.
2. Safety Training
Comprehensive training is crucial to our operations. We ensure our teams are highly knowledgeable, even beyond what they might typically need. This approach ensures everyone knows how to stay safe and keep others safe. After all, you can’t report a hazard if you don’t recognise it!
3. Communication
Clear and open communication is the backbone of our safety policy. We outline proper channels for reporting safety observations, hazards, and concerns. Our employees are always informed about any changes in safety performance, policies, procedures, and regulations.
4. Regular Auditing and Assessment
We conduct internal audits of our management systems beyond the compliance audits required by our accreditations. This ensures they remain suitable and effective for our business goals. The results help us make informed decisions and prioritise safety initiatives.
5. Recognition
Recognising and rewarding safety efforts can be tricky, as it might lead to unnecessary reports. However, at ES Steel Solutions, we acknowledge team members who report safety observations and incidents. This shows their commitment to safety for themselves and others.
We believe in a proactive approach to safety, as we like to anticipate and reduce any risks. By focusing on these areas, we’ve created an environment of continuous improvement. We encourage our employees to report all safety concerns and feedback, whether positive or needing improvement.
Our dedication to safety, through exceptional management processes, has helped us develop an industry-leading safety record. For us, safety isn’t just a task; it’s a fundamental aspect of providing top-notch skills and service.
