Health and Safety
The need to maintain a safe and healthy workforce is of utmost importance to VNR Contracting Services Ltd and we continually strive to improve our health and safety performance.
We operate in many challenging environments and our employees are exposed to a wide variety of workplace hazards posing varying degrees of risk. Managing this risk via formal health and safety management systems is central to our approach in maintaining safe working environments and improving our health and safety performance on a continual basis.
We believe that health and safety accountability and responsibility begins at the top of the organisation and this is critical in ensuring our systems and standards for health and safety management are consistent throughout VNR Contracting Services Ltd. For this reason we focus on training all of our employees, at all levels throughout VNR Contracting Services Ltd, to ensure that they have the required knowledge, competencies and skills to carry out their work safely and effectively.
We are SAFE contractor and a CHAS accredited company and have both an internal safety advisor and an external safety consultant to monitor and review our health and safety policies and procedures.
