Policy Statement
POLICY AND PRINCIPLES
BDM Construction Services Ltd is committed to creating and maintaining a healthy and safe working environment for its employees, contractors, clients, visitors, and members of the public. We recognise our obligations in relation to health, safety, and welfare wherever we carry out our activities.
BDM Construction Services Ltd manages its health and safety using an Occupational Health & Safety Management System in accordance with relevant legislation, regulations, and other requirements, with policies, procedures, and processes in place to support this.
Occupational health and safety is led by senior management at BDM Construction Services Ltd, who are committed to the continual improvement of the organisation’s health and safety performance, management system, and reporting. We actively encourage feedback from all levels of the organisation, as well as from the supply chain and partners.
We commit to the hierarchy of controls over occupational safety and health, including, as a minimum, legal compliance with relevant statutory obligations. We are also committed to the prevention of accidents, ill health, dangerous occurrences, and injury in the workplace to all persons who may be affected directly or indirectly by our activities.
The purpose of this Policy is to promote a proactive approach to the prevention of accidents, ill health, dangerous occurrences, and injury in the workplace. This will be achieved, so far as is reasonably practicable, by the identification of hazards, the elimination of foreseeable risks, and the management of residual risk — thus providing safe systems of work and compliance with relevant statutory Acts, Regulations, and applicable Codes of Practice.
The co-operation of those employed or contracted by BDM Construction Services Ltd in ensuring this Policy is effective, and the responsibility of each individual to take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and those who may be affected by their acts or omissions at work, are legal obligations. BDM Construction Services Ltd insists that these obligations are met, and any breach of this Policy will be regarded as a serious offence.
BDM Construction Services Ltd recognises that the provision of adequate financial resources, training, and supervision is essential to ensure that all managers and employees are properly able to discharge their responsibilities under this Policy, wherever possible.
Joe Bonner, John Duffy, and Paul McDevitt are the Directors responsible for health, safety, and welfare matters on behalf of the company. They will ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, that the Policy is implemented through the Health, Safety, Environment & Quality procedures that are in place and are required to be followed by all parties.
BDM Construction Services Ltd employs an external Health and Safety Consultant, Devs Safety Ltd, who provide guidance and advice on all aspects of health, safety, and welfare. They arrange training for employees in coordination with management and conduct inspections and audits of the business’s activities as necessary. Monitoring the effectiveness of the Policy is the responsibility of the company director, who will ensure that the Policy is reviewed at least annually and that any necessary material changes are implemented.
BDM Construction Services Ltd will consult with all relevant interested parties with respect to health, safety, and welfare in accordance with statutory requirements, to ensure that all necessary measures are taken to make the Policy effective.
The Policy — detailing information on the organisation, arrangements, and other supporting documents required for its implementation — is available for inspection on all sites or upon request.
