Health and Safety Policy
It is the policy of Bachy Soletanche Limited to ensure that the working conditions within the Company are safe and healthy for all their employees.
Bachy Soletanche is a leading member of the Federation of Piling Specialists and routinely contributes data that is used to produce the piling industry accident records and statistics. We have frequently out-performed the industry average and continually strive to be the benchmark in safety for the piling industry.
Our Safety Management System conforms to HS(G)65 Guidelines. and is regularly reviewed and audited by the Federation of Piling Specialists.
Our training and awareness programme demonstrate our determination to drive down accident rates in pursuit of our goal of zero accidents. Induction courses, toolbox talks, training databases and safety improvement groups are all used within this process.
While the ultimate responsibility for Safety is borne by the Chief Executive, we are of the view that each employee must recognise and carry their individual responsibilities. This is especially relevant to the lower levels of site management who control and direct the workforce on a daily basis. Without a clear commitment from such key personnel our planning and policies would be ineffective so the company ensures that all personnel in a supervisory position attend a 5 day Site Management Safety training course with the CITB as a basis for further in-house and specialist training. The involvement of these personnel in risk assessments, planning and the formulation of safe methods of work further develops their ownership of safety and increases the commitment to the safety culture.
