Over the years we have established a safety and hygiene culture where employees and the company support each other in taking individual and collective responsibility. And we’ve taken care to make sure our standards and procedures are industry leading. Our technical specialists review them regularly to ensure we meet our KPIs, legal compliance and best practice.

 

We have been supporting many of our teams to achieve OHSAS 18001 Health and Safety accreditation, confirming we are working to world class health and safety standards.

 

All of our teams also adhere to a health and safety plan created and monitored by our health and safety team, in line with guidance from The Health and Safety Commission and Institute of Directors’ joint report ‘Leading Health and Safety at Work’. 

This plan has four key action areas:

 

·        Planning

            At Scolarest this is much more than simply having a health 

      and safety policy in place, its ensuring our teams understand

      the roles people play and the key health and safety issues in

      their workplace.

 

·        Delivering

            We ensure that our teams have the resources and skills to

      allow them to effectively risk assess their working environment

      and to involve employees of all levels in the decision-making

      process.

 

·        Monitoring

            Our teams use a state of the art online incident reporting

      system that is easy and simple to work, further encouraging

      them to report all incidents and near misses. It is only by

      thorough reporting that we have the information to enable us

      to focus our efforts on the key health and safety priorities.

 

·         Reviewing

            We regularly review our health and safety data and

      management processes to ensure we are effectively

      managing risk and protecting our clients, their students and

      our teams.
