Safety

ABM’s safety management procedures are overseen by Sean Harvey, an external safety consultant. As an additional safety management measure, we ensure that all ABM Directors and senior project personnel attend regular training courses on construction safety.

We prepare detailed risk assessment documentation as well as a site-specific safety plan for every project. All members of the ABM site management team, staff and sub-contractors are fully briefed on the safety plan during site induction procedures.

All ABM sub-contractors are required to produce site-specific safety plans and they must furnish us with copies of Safe Pass and appropriate CSCS cards before beginning work on a site.

We carry out site safety audits on a weekly basis, and as part of that auditing process,action lists are drawn up and timeframes for resolving safety issues are agreed. In September 2007, ABM received Safe-T-Cert. accreditation for our in–house safety management system.
