Every employee is inducted by Neptune Building Services Ltd upon their commencement. This induction includes instruction of their responsibilities to the company and the companies responsibilities towards them.

This initial induction also includes instruction on the health and safety standards that we set  and how we achieve them, along with information on the work that they will be carrying out, our structure and the supervision aspects. 

Each employee also receives an annual safety induction with re-instruction on responsibilities, information on the latest health and safety regulations and a reflection on the works carried out during the previous year.

Training

On a quarterly basis the training file is reviewed and renewals, new employees and job changes are reviewed with a report issued to the health and safety committee for further training requirements. 

CSCS Skillcards

Neptune Building Services Limited have recently achieved Platinum status from CSCS Skillcard and 98% of our direct M&E labour workforce are skillcarded, both at office and site level.

In addition to this, all labour only and supply & fit sub-contractors must satisfy our pre-qualification procedures before commencing work on site.  Their training, insurance details and CSCS skillcards are recorded and monitored to ensure they are kept up to date.  Over 80% of our current sub-contract labour (M&E) are skillcarded, with the remainder awaiting certification.

Monitoring

Our independent Health & Safety Advisors (H&G Construction Safety Association Limited) carry out site inspections on a monthly basis and provide an itemised report with their findings.  Relevant information is passed to all responsible parties including the main contractor and the Neptune staff involved in that project (both management and site operatives). 

Any issues will be dealt with in the first instance by the Contracts Manager for that project and then an action report is forwarded to the in-house Health & Safety Committee for discussion at the next quarterly meeting.  All reports and actions are logged for future use and to help form the basis of the company Annual Induction Training and weekly Toolbox Talks.   

Feedback

Over and above the daily responsibility of the site staff to report any concerns to their direct supervisor, on a monthly basis as part of the monitoring process, all attending Neptune site staff including sub-contractors are involved in a site tool box talk which includes instruction on any indicated problems and any feed back on safety issues. 

Management

The safety structure is as follows:

The responsibility of the safety committee is to review the H&G Safety Association monthly site reports and take appropriate action where necessary to arrange for additional training via courses or staff inductions, review accident statistics and safety structure performance and provide the finance and infrastructure required to action as necessary.

Summary

By constantly reviewing our system/records Neptune Building Services is striving to improve building site Health and Safety levels and reduce accidents/risks experienced in the industry.
