We have an extensive Health and Safety Policy which is continuously assessed and has been developed from our extensive experience over the last 45 years.

Some of the requirements we have:

• Piling platform must be designed and constructed for the safe operation and manoeuvring of the piling rig.
• High pressure concrete pipelines to be regularly inspected for wear.
• Banksman must control the rig movements.
• Mechanical auger cleaner to be used, in order to prevent hazard from falling materials.
• A manual handling assessment to be made prior to lifting operations.
• Projecting pile reinforcement to be fitted with protective 'mushroom' caps.

Our Health & Safety Policy is available upon request.

TODO

Rock & Alluvium believe that the safety of their workforce and others should receive the highest priority. To this end we have developed a Safety Management System that has been audited and registered with the OHSAS 18001 "Safety Management Systems."

We employ full time safety professionals who are experienced in geotechnical contract management and are members of the CITB Piling NVQ Working Party.

We ensure the four pillars of safe working are provided:

• A Safe System of Work
• A Competent Workforce
• A Safe Working Environment
• Effective Supervision

Rock & Alluvium are also members of:

• Federation of Piling Specialists (fully Audited)
• RoSPA
• British Safety Council

To ensure Health & Safety is always the top priority of all our staff we created the Richard Brown Memorial Shield, this is awarded to the Foreman and Piling Team who have made the most pro-active contribution to safety each year.
