Safety @ Sutterby
Safety is no accident, it does not just grow or blossom without hard work and strong and constant focus of everyone involved.
Safety must become a culture through positive reinforcement and ongoing training and application – again safety is work.
It is our aim to recognize change when it happens before the hazard becomes a risk and deal with it through proper and thorough assessment and the early implementation of mitigating measures.
We recognize, we are all in this together and it is our responsibility not somebody else’s.
Safety the Foundation
As a responsible business and commercial electrical contractor, we have heavily invested in our systems and take pride in our people’s solid approach to safety. We know that safety is the responsibility of every individual staff member.
To ensure your and our safety we are committed to the recognition of hazards and the mitigating of risks through:
- implementation of any available and relevant SWMS
- conducting of a JSA prior to the start of any works no matter how minor the task
- ongoing monitoring of circumstances as the work progresses
- good communication with others
- reassessing and mitigation of new risks
- conducting of a ‘Take 5’ to deal with new situations
- no live working
- no live testing as a preferred option when other testing is possible
At Sutterby Electrical working safe is a condition of employment. Safety is an essential part of our training, not just for apprentices but for our entire team.
We endeavor to, not only keep ourselves safe in every situation but to complete our work in a manner that ensures the ongoing safety of our colleagues, clients, students, and residents.
