Introduction to

EPScm are hugely proud of our Health and Safey records.  Due to strong a risk management culture, our projects to date have been without major incidents. We have had no LTAs, Riddor, enforcement nor improvement notices from the HSE despite a number of visits due to the complex nature of some of our project activities including multiple asbestos removal schemes for the NHS and corporate clients.  

There have been NO breaches of health and safety, CDM, environment or other statutory regulations relating to our construction activity that have led or may lead to prosecution of an order against the company or any of its directors, officers or other employees.

Thankfully, as we have not encountered a major accident nor incident, we have yet to implement a mitigation strategy for reoccurrence for major events. However, we avoid incident by implementing risk management strategies from the very outset. Our operational teams and compliance manager are both heavily involved in our tendering process where they are actively engaged to assess projects from a risk perspective. The Risk management strategy commences ever before we are potentially  awarded a project. Our draft CPP, tender risk registers all remain live and updated constantly throughout the life cycle of the project.

 

The majority of our project activity as demonstrated by our case studies are in live operational environments. Health and Safety therefore must be to the forefront of all activities due to the interaction of construction activity with client staff and general public. Stakeholder engagement along with informed, appropriate communication plans are equally critical for the implementation of a true Health and Safety culture  to ensure the potential of accident and incident is mitigated.

 

All safety incidents on our projects have a post incident report carried out both by EPScm and the suppliers involved. These reports are published to project team including client and PD.

 

To avoid reoccurrence of minor to medium incidents we put necessary training in place including recommendations to our supply chain, tool box talks are undertaken following a safety site shut down, adaptations to previously agreed safe systems of works accompanied by updated supplier RAMs e.g. alternative access equipment, alternative PPE, segregations etc.

 

Following such incident and mitigation strategies, we issue All Site Bulletins (ASB) so other sites under EPScm management are made aware of such an event and implement similar measures  where necessary to avoid a reoccurrence on their sites.
