Health & Safety
A positive health and safety culture is central to all we do
Safety and Occupational Health
The safety and good health of everyone who works for or with The Duffy Group is central to all that we do. Every decision made throughout the business has health and safety at its heart.
Safety and Occupational Health is more than mere procedures and rules and extends into the way we approach all projects, tasks and operations.
Training all our staff and supporting this with ongoing competency assessments and refreshers is an essential element of our way of working.
All staff and operatives are given ongoing development in both practical skills and awareness to promote safe working practices and overall safer sites.
We are partnered with an Occupational Health provider that carries out regular hearing/visual/musculoskeletal/skin/lifestyle assessments. This is carried out when a person starts and regularly throughout their employment.
We strive to continually improve and deepen our safety culture within the business to drive health and safety as our first principle. The bottom line is we want to ensure all those who work for us, with us or near us, go home each night safe and well.
The Duffy Group works hard to ensure all aspects of its operations do not have adverse effects. If anyone has any concerns, we have a dedicated email address: concerns@duffy.co.uk
