Contractor Health and Safety Management
Posted Monday, March 8, 2021
Selecting contractors is one of the most important tasks we undertake as part of our building management services across the Fexco Property Services group, and is undertaken by the Health & Safety department.
APPROVAL PROCESS
Whether it is a regular cleaning contract or replacing the roof, we take the same amount of care in ensuring the contractors will work both safely and professionally. To ensure a timely response we maintain a list of approved contractors who are approached to tender for the work. We request that all of our contractors undergo an approval process, for which we provide the following options:
1. ALREADY HAVE H&S DOCUMENTS?
If you already have your own health and safety documents, such as a health and safety policy and risk assessments, you can forward those to us and fill in a questionnaire. We will review them and either approve them or offer guidance if more information is needed.
2. NEED H&S ADVICE OR HELP?
If you need the benefit of professional health and safety advice for your business, Fexco Health & Safety services are able to provide a ‘competent advisor’ service, which can include assistance with risk assessments and policies, online training courses, and advice. If you need more information about this, please contact the team at h&s@fexcopropertyservices.co.uk
Head of Health & Safety - Jonathan Gough states:
“Using a contractor that has been thoroughly checked by our in house H&S team ensures that organisations working in the communal areas have the right combination of knowledge, skills, and experience to do so safely. This gives assurance to our clients that vetted contractors will do their upmost to avoid hurting or injuring anyone, but will also look to avoid/control any damage to the environment and the building itself.”
