Safety
At Pipetawse Limited, the safety of our employees, and any other person who may be affected by our acts or omissions is taken seriously.
Our in-house safety advisor is qualified to NEBOSH Certificate Level, trained to the British Safety Councils Diploma in safety management (DipSim), and is a Member of the International Institute of Risk & Safety Management.
As part of our safety, we have identified various ‘Generic Risk Assessments’ which act as an ACOPS, and these also identify the PPE and equipment necessary to carry out the work in a safe manner.
However our generic risk assessments are not always suitable for the work that is required to be carried out, so we would then carry out a Specific Risk Assessment to identify safety needs.
All employees receive a company induction, this is in addition to any safety training that they may receive (ie passport training or client site orientation inductions).
