SHEQ

Our Safety Values

At SGB, we all work hard to ensure our employees come home in the same or better shape every day and that no one gets hurt, ever. With this value as the focus of our industry-leading safety culture, coupled with our award-winning safety record, we have come to know that SGB is more than a company with a great safety program, SGB is a safe company.

Environment

In respect to the activities we can control or expect to have reasonable influence over, we recognise our responsibility for protecting the environment and our environmental policy is a statement of that commitment.

We are also committed to the prevention of pollution and to complying with all applicable environmental, legal and regulatory requirements.

Recycling
As part of our Environmental Management System we have a segregated waste policy and although we are a low impact business, we are currently addressing ways to recycle a higher percentage of branch operation waste.

Sustainability
All the products used in day to day business have an extended life cycle, with the exception of timber products which are used for scaffold boards. Our scaffold boards are purchased from three suppliers, each of whom can confirm that their products are from renewable and environmentally well managed sources.

Quality

SGB thinks deeply about the materials it purchases and forges long-term relationships with its suppliers. Controlled and careful purchasing is a key contributor to the eventual safety of the access provided. All SGB equipment is manufactured, rigorously inspected and maintained to its own, industry recognised, quality control standards. A quality management team is involved in the regular vetting and monitoring of suppliers to ensure they do not compromise on material and performance specifications.

The processes followed are outlined by the comprehensive internal quality manual, guaranteeing the engineering and product specification standards that you need to work safely.
