Health and Safety                                                                                    

Increasing regulation has added considerably to the challenges of maintaining an effective health and safety policy. Some businesses have still to get to grips with new legislation, and remain oblivious to punitive penalties that include substantial fines and even custodial sentences, not to mention collateral damage to reputation. In an area where the legal requirement is the minimum expectation, many businesses are taking significant yet unnecessary risks. Stenball Construction utilises workable and acceptable best practice Health and Safety guidelines.

Stenball Construction fully appreciates and implements the five fundamental principles included within the HSE guidance note HSG65 - Planning, Organisation, Controlling, Managing and Auditing our health and safety standards.

We are committed to implementing procedures which ensure that we operate above the legal expectations of the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974. Our Health & Safety Committee meets regularly to discuss ways to further improve our standards, and to review and amend our Health & Safety Policy. With an open health & safety management culture we welcome input and reward innovative ideas.

Environmental                                                                                                     

Environmental issues are of great concern to all of us.

We recognise our responsibilities for care of the environment to local communities and the wider population. We will ensure wherever practical that our operations are planned and undertaken with a commitment to the preservation and protection of the environment. We fully adopt the ethos and expectations of ISO 14001.

We operate a waste management policy on all of our sites, which is regularly reviewed. Our prime objective is to reduce waste on our sites, through reduction of surplus orders, and by recycling to our other sites via our storage facility.

We are rigorous in our selection of supply-chain partners and subcontrators, to ensure environmentally friendly working practices, and to provide both quality and sustainability. It is company policy that wherever possible no product that is hazardous to the environment will be used, and if specified by others then we will seek to eliminate this material by use of alternative products.
