Hugo Appleby Ltd. pride ourselves on our commitment to health and safety and understand that effective business management can only be successful if proper consideration is given to preventing injury and ill health to our employees, members of the public, tenants and anyone who may come into contact with our works.

We set our own performance targets above those required by statute and legislation. All our employees are aware of this commitment, as a result of our positive safety culture and pro-active approach to the subject.

We ensure all people employed on site and their representatives are fully briefed regarding Hugo Appleby’s health and safety requirements.

Health and Safety in maintained within the organisation by regular safety training for key personnel and regular inspection and instruction given to personnel on site.
All subcontractors are asked to provide method statements and briefed on health and safety and where appropriate involved in the design process to ensure works are designed safely to comply with the constructions (design and management) regulations 1994.

Regular site inspections are made by Hugo Appleby safety personnel to assess the site for compliance with our health and safety requirements. On every project our site manager carries out daily and weekly health and safety checks. And in addition to this we employ Health and Safety consultants Richardson-Hill Ltd to oversee all projects.

On every project our site foreman will oversee the issuing of daily inductions, permit to works and tool box talks. Each employee inducted receives a Hugo Appleby. “Passport to Safety” which we ask them to keep with them on site at all times. We have at least one trained First Aider on site at all times.
