Health and Safety

 

NEBCO LTD as a matter of course will supply all standard health & safety documentation required in law, including risk assessments and method statements as required under CDM legislation. The basis of costing installations and required hire equipment is as per our method statements. These are available prior to installation on request.

NEBCO recognises that the disciplines of occupational health and safety are an integral part of its management function and amongst the management’s most important business objectives. To this end, NEBCO has gained accreditation to BSOHSAS18001:2007, the recognised standard for Occupational Health & Safety Systems. The system is maintained as part of the NEBCO Integrated Management System and is headed by the Group Safety, Training, and Development Manager.

Health and safety considerations are fundamental to the business with the well-being and safety of all staff and visitors being of paramount importance during all activities and processes that take place at NEBCO whether they occur on a daily basis or periodically. To support this all plant and equipment are checked and maintained to ensure it is kept in a good condition. H&S policies, as well as our objectives and targets, are communicated to employees with feedback being encouraged as a tool for strengthening our already rigid H&S culture.

Continuous improvement is part of our overall business strategy. To achieve this goal clear and precise objectives are set that are monitored from their commencement through to their conclusion.

The key objectives are to:

  • Comply with all applicable legislation, regulations, and other requirements.
  • Practice a concept of continuous improvement and make the best use of all management resources in all matters of Occupational Health & Safety.
  • Commit to the prevention of injury and ill-health.
  • Communicate the company’s performance against set objectives throughout the organisation and to interested parties.
  • Take due care to ensure that activities are safe for employees, associates, subcontractors, and others who come into contact with our products & business.
  • Work closely with our customers and suppliers to establish the highest Occupational Health & Safety standards.
  • Adopt a forward-looking view on future business decisions that may have Occupational Health & Safety consequences.
  • Maintain a high level of competent staff by giving appropriate training in their responsibilities within the Occupational Health & Safety management system.
  • Run a proactive risk management programme that identifies significant workplace hazards and their respective control mechanisms.


The monitoring and measurement of our health & safety performance through internal and external audits demonstrates NEBCO's expertise when it comes to matters of health and safety. On an annual basis, our H&S Management System is reviewed by the Management team enabling us to fully appreciate our performance and identify opportunities for improvement.
