Training Policy

On-Site Health & Safety Training

A standard Checklist is used providing safety induction information for a site. This will contain information on site layout, first aid /accident reporting, welfare arrangements, etc. Regular toolbox talks are carried out on site. All site-based employees also undertake a CSCS health and safety awareness course and there are Health & Safety manuals which are constantly updated. We develop a Construction-phased health and safety Plan which is viewed and understood by all site operatives whilst undergoing site inductions, hence being site specific.

Induction Training

All employees are given an induction before they start employment and are also given a Health and Safety Induction before they attend work on site. All training is appraised annually at appraisal and they attend periodic training and seminars if this has been identified.

All Sub-Contractors also have a health and safety induction before they commence on site and are asked to read our health and safety policy and confirm in writing that they have understood it. They also must produce their own Health and Safety Policy, Method, Risk and COSHH Assessments.

Level of Competency

We are currently updating and developing all our employees to ensure that they hold a minimum DR Jones standard that promotes current legislation (but not exhaustive to). This includes training on and for:

Technician and Operatives

• Safety Awareness Construction Skills
• Manual Handling
• Asbestos Awareness
• First Aid
• Abrasive Wheels
• Mobile Tower & Scaffold Safety
• Confined Spaces
• Fire Marshal
• Lone Working

Supervisors and Managers

• Site Management Safety Training Scheme
• Construction Site Supervisors Training Scheme
• Scaffold Inspection
• Fire Marshal
• First Aid

In addition many of our operatives are working on or towards NVQ's, Modern Apprentices and CSCS accreditation through OSAT.

This company policy and approach is the same for both our directly and in-directly self employed operatives. All of which are working towards the same level of attainment.
