Health & Safety
Everyone who works with us and for us can expect every aspect of their health, safety and wellbeing to be protected.
Kilnbridge works to a set of robust health and safety policies – but we recognise that these only go so far. Through our ongoing Safety in Action programme, we’ve built a culture within which people understand the attitudes and behaviours required of them, and bring these to
life in the way they work every single day.
The framework drives continuous business-wide improvements in health and safety through four pillars:
- Culture: Investing in and focusing on behavioural change, leadership, workforce engagement, responsibility and accountability.
- Confidence in competence: Providing safety training, resources, and personal development beyond minimum industry standards.
- Controls: The continual development of our management system and its supporting controls through the use of technology and innovation.
- Health and wellbeing: Providing the resources for medical screening, mental health support, health surveillance and wellbeing to ensure that our people are fit for work.
The Safety in Action programme also empowers our people to proactively challenge any unsafe acts or conditions they encounter as they go about their work.
Compliance and standards
To maintain the highest standards in health and safety, we operate a management system that is accredited to ISO45001, and which is subject to both internal and external audits.
Our project managers and supervisors meet Build UK’s minimum competence requirements, including SMSTS and SSSTS, to ensure the safe planning, management and supervision of work activities.
Kilnbridge has achieved the requirements of the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS), which are based upon legal compliance, safety, efficiency and environmental protection. We’re also a Champion of the Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS) scheme, which focuses on the management of work-related road risk and road safety culture in the industry.
