6. What is your attitude to Health and Safety?

Adamson Construction has a good Health & Safety culture. Our policy endeavours to make the company and all of its employees fully committed to undertake its business in such a way as to minimise the risk of injury or ill health to people, damage to property or the environment. All construction work is subject to the Construction (Design and Management) 2007 Regulations. All jobs are assessed for any risks and hazards and Risk Assessments and Job Method Statements are completed where necessary.

 

7. Do you have CSCS Cards?

Yes. All employees who will work on site are obliged to have CSCS cards and we ensure they are updated as necessary. Project managers and contracts managers are also required to have the CSCS cards.

 

8. How much do you invest in training your employees?

Training is regularly reviewed to establish the needs of the company, its clients and the environment that it trades in. The nature of the work undertaken usually results in significant investment here so all employees, both management and operatives, receive various relevant external and internal training to ensure they continue to work in a safe way and produce the quality that Adamson Construction demands.

 

9. Do you have ISO: 9001?

Adamson Construction is working towards gaining the accreditation of ISO: 9001 and hopes to achieve this in the near future.

 

10. Do you use Sub-Contractors?

Yes. To complement our direct labour with the additional expertise required to deliver a contract, we have developed good relationships with many sub-contractors. New sub-contractors are vetted and managed to ensure they achieve the levels of quality that we require.

 

11. What geographical areas do you work in?

We generally prefer to do work in the Thames Valley area. We have our head office in slough and use it as a base of operations. However, we have often done projects outside this area because we can set up a site but we prefer not to do small maintenance tasks outside of this region.
