We consistently review and improve awareness and performance in health and safety across the business with industry specialists, suppliers, sub-contractors and clients. Our priority is to protect each and every person who is affected by the work we do.

Health and Safety Policy Statement

Our goal is to provide an incident-free environment for everyone.

We believe that this can only be achieved by integrating health and safety values within our core business and by actively promoting a positive safety culture.  

We pledge to:

• Continually improve our health and safety performance
• Provide suitable resources to ensure that our employees, stakeholders and anyone that could be affected by our activities have a safe working environment
• Provide all employees with suitable and sufficient information, training and supervision to help them to undertake their duties in an effective and safe manner
• Consult with our employees and stakeholders on health and safety matters
• Regularly review, update and implement this policy.

We personally commit to this policy and we trust that all our employees actively participate in its implementation.

“Having just come off site, I wanted to bring a couple of matters to your attention.  Firstly, I met with a HSE Inspector and asked if there were any issues.  He replied that, quite the contrary, your scheme was an absolute example of how a large scale construction project should be set up and run, down to the smallest detail. The project is outstanding in every respect and should be nominated for a National construction award".

The National House Building Council

We work closely with the National House Building Council (NHBC) who undertake a monthly audit of all our sites.Southdale have established a health and safety committee, attended by external industry specialists to ensure the business is compliant with new legislation and initiatives. 

Southdale are proud to lead the way in setting and achieving Health and Safety KPI’s which are 1 point below the All Builder Average score of 3.2 which was set by the NHBC. We have therefore consistently achieved over 2 points (1.43) below the All Builder Average improving the previous year’s target by 1 point.

Our accident and injury policy

At Southdale, safety is our priority. We aim to be injury and incident-free, and so far we have an exemplary record. .
