Peter Cox Health and Safety

We have the necessary contract management skills in place, together with an independently accredited health and safety regime that includes rigorous training for our surveyors and technicians, who carry CSCS cards.

We conduct comprehensive risk assessments, adhere to all government guidelines, and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE) to ensure the safety of our team and our customers. We are committed to legal compliance in all our operations, giving you peace of mind that your property is in safe hands.

All Peter Cox surveyors and technicians are fully trained in safe working practices, while our treatment fluids are HSE compliant as well as being generally odourless and non-flammable.

The Company recognises its health and safety duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and accompanying protective legislation, and the Director recognises that they have a responsibility to ensure that all reasonable precautions are taken to provide and maintain working conditions which are safe, healthy and comply with all statutory requirements and codes of practice.

The Company, so far as is reasonably practicable, proposes to pay particular attention to:

a) The provision and maintenance of a safe place of work, a safe system of work, safe appliances for work, and a safe and healthy working environment
b) The provision of such information and instruction, as may be necessary, to ensure the health and safety of its employees and others, and the promotion of awareness and understanding of health and safety throughout the workforce.
c) Ensuring the safety and absence of health risks in connection with use, handling, storage and transport of all articles, substances and equipment
d) Making regular assessments of risks to employees
e) Taking appropriate preventative/protective measures as identified by risk assessment
f) Appointing a competent person to secure compliance with statutory duties

In order that the Company can achieve those objectives, it is important that employees recognise their duty, whilst at work, to take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and of other persons. Employees should also cooperate fully with the Company or anyone else concerned, to ensure that their obligations are performed or complied with.

All employees of the Company agree, as a term of their contract of employment, to comply with their individual duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and the Management of Health and Safety Regulations 1999 and other legislation, and to generally cooperate with the Company so as to enable it to carry out its duties towards them. The attention of all employees is drawn to the attached safety rules and procedures, and employees should recognise that failure to comply with their health and safety duties and obligations can lead to dismissal from employment. In the case of serious breaches, such dismissal may be instant without prior warning.

This policy has been prepared in furtherance of section 2(3) of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and binds all staff. We request that our customers and visitors respect this policy, a copy of which can be obtained on demand.

We have an independently accredited health and safety regime that includes rigorous training for our surveyors and technicians, who carry CSCS cards.

We conduct comprehensive risk assessments, adhere to all government guidelines, and use appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) and respiratory protective equipment (RPE) to ensure the safety of our team and our customers.

All Peter Cox surveyors and technicians are fully trained in safe working practices, while our treatment fluids are HSE registered as well as being generally odourless and non-flammable.

While health and safety is our top priority, our surveyors and technicians will take care of your property, minimising disruption and giving you the peace of mind that your property is in professional hands.

Our specialists are equipped with Hilti dust extraction units to ensure we will leave your property free from dust and debris.

These units are designed to help remove airborne dust from the atmosphere when removing plasterwork, drilling into masonry or working with timber.

While in use, they help create a safer work environment for our technicians, while also reducing the amount of dust settling and the dust particles moving throughout your property.

Our technicians are also provided with floor coverings to protect your home or property, while they will also make efforts to cover surfaces and any furnishings with dust sheets in order to keep further disruption to a minimum.
