Health & Safety Statement

At Glenesk Homes, we take our responsibilities seriously. Health & safety is our core priority. No other matter – commercial or operational – takes precedence over the health and safety of those involved in or affected by our activities. Accordingly, we have adopted an approved ISO45001 health & safety management system and are working towards our own certification.

We are committed to a policy of effectively managing all aspects of health, safety and welfare. We maintain our fundamental belief that everyone has the right to return home unharmed at the end of each and every working day.

We will always:

  • create safe working environments for all
  • protect the safety and long-term health of everyone involved in or affected by our operations
  • follow the rules and procedures
  • recognise personal responsibility for our own safety and that of others
  • speak out immediately against unsafe behaviours or conditions and stop working until safe to do so
  • lead by example, demonstrating a positive commitment to safety and inspiring others to do the same

We will never:

  • prioritise other objectives over health and safety
  • bend the rules
  • ignore unsafe behaviours or conditions, or assume that health and safety is someone else’s responsibility
