Throughout our 60+ years of business, Goody Demolition have always maintained that Health and Safety are among our top priorities when conducting our operations. We want all of our staff to get to work safely, be safe whilst at work, and get home safely. Our conscientious attitude also extends to any who may be affected by our works, be they clients/customers, other contractors, site visitors, the general public or any other stakeholders.
We take extensive measures to ensure the prevention of accidents and ill health through the promotion of safe working practices, delivering every project safely.
With a long history of working in demolition, we understand the potential dangers in our industry and the importance of not just adhering to legislation but applying best practice to prevent accidents/incidents. Our health & safety management system is certified to international standard ISO 45001, and we maintain multiple Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) Accreditations and Memberships.
We understand that we have a duty of care to all persons affected by our works, and any such works that may be undertaken on our behalf by our contractors. . All areas of our business are subject to rigorous risk assessment, regular safety inspections and systems audits. Any accidents, incidents and near misses are reported and investigated promptly and thoroughly, with corrective action implemented, facilitating ongoing continuous improvement and ensuring no repeat incidents.Our team are aware of their responsibilities and only carry out activities for which they are fully trained and qualified. We employ modern plant and equipment which is well maintained and regularly serviced.Any contractors and suppliers we use are subject to a robust screening/vetting process to ensure they operate to the same high standards as ourselves.
All GDL Employees are required to ahere to our stringent Health and Safety processes, and to enable them to better be able to do this, we offer ongoing H&S training to our workforce, both office and site based. This training is delivered through the National Demolition Training Group or another one of our approved trainning providers.
In line with the Construction (Design and Management) [CDM] Regulations 2015, we understand, assess and manage the risks associated with our works. All tasks across all our projects are delivered only by persons with appropriate knowledge, training and experience to do so. All of our sites are managed by suitably qualified professionals, overseeing highly trained operatives to deliver the works.
We regularly assume the role of Principal Contractor under CDM for projects ranging from £5,000 to £1,000,000+ projects, and all operational employees have a working knowledge of the CDM regulations to enable them to safely meet their obligations.
