Coronavirus – Our Policy

Dear Colleagues,

We all find ourselves in an unprecedented situation as a result of the fast developing situation with Covid-19. At HCS Safety our duty is to provide a professional, friendly and practical service to our clients, and at the same time to look after the welfare of our staff. The following policy has been put in place as a proportionate response to risk in these difficult times. It is likely that we will need to update this policy frequently as the situation develops, so please continue to consult this website for the latest on training and our other services. However the situation develops, we will be here to advise and support you as we have been for the last 20 years.

 

Annual Review Meetings

We are able to conduct these remotely using Microsoft teams. This will keep your legal obligations intact and we have found it very easy to use. Please chat to us at the office about how to obtain this software and we can talk you through it.

Site Safety Inspections

We will continue to conduct site safety inspections as long as our clients require them, although we do have some limitations in place.  All site inspections must have an intial COVID-19 specific inspection to execute your duty of care to ensure the safety of not only your staff, but the safety of HCS Safety’s staff too.

Training

From the 8th June, we will be opening our doors to our now fully COVID-19 Compliant training centre.  We have undertaken thorough risk assessments and ensured that suitable measures have been taken to enable a safe learning environment. Naturally this means that we have reduced class sizes by at least a third, so please bear this in mind when booking your courses.

If you have staff who are furloughed, we believe they are able to attend training in order to keep their role current, although we strongly advise you to take separate advice on this matter.

Thank you for your support.

Testimonials

HCS Safety has taken Ridon Joinery to another level in the construction industry. This year we achieved 100% for all our health and safety reports on BAM and GallifordTry construction sites. We have also been awarded new contracts based on this achievement. Our factory side is now much more efficient with the H&S systems you have helped us put in place and currently the company is 35% more efficient in producing work.

IOSH Managing Safely
HCS Safety’s NEBOSH Construction Certificate course was extremely well run, the tutors were knowledgeable, helpful and informative and made the course enjoyable for all the delegates. The facilities, visual aids and the course materials were excellent. I have recommended this course and others run by HCS Safety to other colleagues and associates in the industry.
Joanne Cull
Brazier Interiors
As the owner of a company that employs 10 staff and works with over 300 contractors across various sites, I decided that I wanted to take a hands-on approach to our health and safety. The NEBOSH General course was well worth my time and I feel fully equipped to deal with any issues that arise in my organisation.
