Health and Safety

Health, safety, quality, and environmental considerations are foundational elements of our day-to-day civil engineering operations.

We consistently monitor specific key performance indicators to measure our progress and ensure best practice is actioned and implemented from the start.

Howard Civil Engineering’s robust Health and Safety policy - which has been developed in accordance with OHSAS 18001 – and our quality management system were both born from our belief that the health, safety, and welfare of our stakeholders is paramount. Our quality management system ensures we meet the current legislation, codes of practice, and safety guidance at all times.

We pride ourselves in placing great emphasis on implementing safe systems of work, investing in safer technology and plant, and making sure our workforce is trained and informed of the latest health and safety guidance.

Our colleagues are individually assessed to establish their specific training requirements, and each employee is provided with a specific training programme to meet their needs. As a bare minimum, all operatives are CSCS registered, and all supervisors are 5-day SMSTS qualified.

These commitments are supported by several accreditations which directly influence how we undertake health and safety assessments and precautions.

Howard Civil Engineering is proud to have achieved the following accreditations:
