Health and safety

Metalwork involves heavy parts, cutting, welding and often work at height. We treat safety as part of planning and carrying out each job, in the workshop and on site.

How we work safely

  1. Planning the work

    Before work starts we look at the conditions of each job, such as access, lifting, work at height, weather and other trades on site.

  2. Safe fabrication

    Machines and tools are used in line with European standards, kept in working order and operated by people who know them.

  3. An orderly workshop

    Material is stored in its designated place. A tidy workshop is always a safer one.

  4. Suitable protection

    Protective equipment is chosen for each task, for example eye, hearing, hand and foot protection and protection for welding.

  5. Attention to site conditions

    On site we coordinate with the client and other trades.

  • A tidy workshop wall: a power distribution box, a fire extinguisher, and a hard hat with gloves on a tool cabinet. Illustrative example
  • Work at height from a scissor lift in front of the façade of a building. Illustrative example
