Health & Safety at Dortech
Commitment to Excellence in Safety
At Dortech Architectural Systems Ltd, we are committed to providing a safe, healthy, and efficient work environment for all our employees, contractors, and visitors. As a CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) accredited company, we adhere to rigorous health and safety protocols to manage risks effectively across all our operations.
Why CHAS Accreditation Matters
CHAS (Contractors Health and Safety Assessment Scheme) is not just a mark of compliance; it’s part of the Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP) framework, which standardizes health and safety assessment for UK contractors. Being SSIP accredited reassures our clients that Dortech meets recognized health and safety benchmarks, reducing risk in procurement by ensuring consistent standards across service providers.
In addition to our CHAS accreditation, all our site staff hold CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) cards at levels appropriate to their roles. CSCS accreditation confirms that our site personnel have the required training and qualifications for the types of work they perform, enhancing safety and professionalism on our projects. This combination of CHAS and CSCS accreditations underscores our commitment to leading standards of health and safety in the construction industry.
Our Proactive Approach
Our health and safety strategy is integrated into every aspect of our operations, from the construction site to our production facilities. At our construction sites, we meticulously manage multiple risks including work at height, manual handling, the use of elevated work platforms, and operation of heavy machinery. In our factory, where we manufacture aluminium windows, entrance doors, and curtain walling products, we ensure safety around precision machinery like CNC machines through:
- Detailed Risk Assessments: Regular assessments to identify and mitigate risks.
- Method Statements: Clear instructions on how tasks should be performed safely.
- Qualified Staff: Ensuring all employees are adequately trained and hold the necessary qualifications to safely perform their duties.
Training and Continuous Improvement
We believe in continuous improvement and invest in ongoing training for our staff to enhance their safety awareness and operational skills. This commitment is reflected in our exemplary safety record, with zero reportable major injuries or fatalities across our sites and factories in recent years.
Health Beyond Safety
Understanding that health extends beyond physical safety, our policies also focus on occupational health, mental health, and managing fatigue. We provide comprehensive support and resources to ensure our employees are both physically and mentally healthy.
We invite our clients and partners to join us in upholding the highest standards of health and safety. Together, we can create safer construction environments and achieve outstanding results on every project.
