SAFERT FIRST. CONTROLLED BY PROCESS.

Health, Safety & Quality

Groundworks and civil engineering carry significant risk. We control it through planning, supervision and progressive inspection — within SMAS and ISO-accredited management systems.

THE RISKS WE MANAGE

High-risk work. Controlled before it starts.

Every one of these hazards demands rigorous planning and control. Safety is embedded into our planning before works commence — not added on site.

Deep excavations

Temporary works

Underground & overhead services

Lifting operations

Confined spaces

Groundwater

Heavy plant & vehicle movements

01

Plan Safely

Every operation is supported by site-specific Risk Assessments and Method Statements (RAMS), identifying and controlling:

  • Site-specific hazards
  • Plant interfaces
  • Lifting operations
  • Temporary works requirements
  • Exclusion zones
  • Emergency procedures
02

Execute precisely

Controls only work if they’re understood at the workface. Briefings, inductions, toolbox talks and ongoing site reviews make sure they are.

Clear lines of responsibility and accountability run through our whole management structure.

Site inductions
Daily briefings
Toolbox talks
Ongoing site reviews
CHAIN OF RESPONSIBILITY

Project management

Plans, resources and owns the RAMS

Site supervision

Briefs, monitors and enforces controls

Every operative

Understands, applies and can stop work

03

Inspect progressively. Quality without compromise.

Our ISO management systems are supported by project-specific quality plans, inspection and test plans, quality control sheets and defined hold points.

Key stages are inspected, recorded and formally approved before the next works proceed — backed by testing and photographic records.

Deliver with certainty

As-built information and adoption records are developed alongside construction, not pieced together at completion. The result is a clear, auditable line of approval from installation to handover.

Installation

Built to approved design and method.

Inspection

Tested and photographed at each hold point.

Approval

Formally signed off before works proceed.

Handover

As-builts and adoption records complete on day one.
