Safety is non-negotiable for Goleman, underpinned by a commitment to a health and safety culture that is lived, breathed and believed by every member of our team.
Equipment
Goleman utilises specialist equipment in all aspects of our daily work. Knowing how to use this equipment correctly and safely is critical, and all staff undertake comprehensive training and hold all applicable licences and qualifications. Should a job require specialist machinery or equipment that Goleman staff are unfamiliar with, then an appropriate subcontractor will be called upon.
Materials
Goleman sources materials from the best known and most reputable suppliers within their industry.
Goleman has extremely strong relationships with suppliers, involving them in every step of the job. They provide warranties on the products we install and check our work at every stage. Correct installation and application are key, and Goleman staff follow all material and product specifications to the letter.
Chemicals
Goleman uses chemicals for a wide variety of tasks, examples of this include environmentally friendly biodegradable soaps used to clean windows, solvents used for waterproofing, or adhesives used to fasten anchor points.
Knowing how to use chemicals safely is of the upmost importance, as failure to do so may result in serious harm and injury. When working with or around chemicals it is imperative that correct use, storage, and handling instructions are followed.
Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) are kept with the product, in the staff vehicle, and on all worksites.
Goleman staff undertake regular training with our suppliers, ensuring staff understand, the risks associated with the use of any chemical.
All staff have undergone first aid training and hold first aid certificates, so that in the unlikely event of coming into contact with chemicals the correct first aid measures can immediately be actioned.
Prior to any work being undertaken our site specific Hazard Identification is completed, all correct chemical usage and first aid measures are recorded, ensuring that any person entering the worksite is aware of all potential hazards. Included in our hazard identification are the containment measures to be taken in the event of a spill. Clear instructions for disposal and storage of chemicals are clearly displayed and included in our induction process and internal training.
