CREATING A SAFE WORKING ENVIRONMENT

HEALTH & SAFETY MANAGEMENT

Derbyshire Decorators recognises the hazards involved with decoration activities and the risks our workforce and others are exposed to as a result of our work.

Our health and safety (H&S) management system provides us with the means to manage H&S throughout our operations in an efficient and effective way.

We accept our responsibilities for health and safety and are committed
to giving this equal importance with other business matters. Our primary
H&S objective is to prevent injuries and damage to health.

Our workforce undertakes regular H&S training as part of their career development and we provide the supervision and instruction required
on site to ensure our workers know how to work safely.
