Here at FPM we are committed to Health and Safety and are constantly monitoring, reviewing and improving our procedures to reduce any possible hazards that may arise in the work place. The general well-being of every person involved in our activities is of paramount importance; this includes our own personnel, our clients and all visitors to our client's premises.
We are well aware of our legal obligations and regard safety as the most important, factor within our business. Before any contract or cleaning task commences, comprehensive risk assessment is carried out. Our Health and Safety procedures are well documented and include a Health and Safety Policy, generic and site specific risk assessments for both specified cleaning activities and the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH).
Our machinery is regularly checked to see that it complies with the Electricity at Work Regulations and is PAT tested annually. Our staff receive an induction at the commencement of their employment which includes basic training in the aspects of Health and Safety and COSHH that is applicable to their job. This training becomes more detailed for certain types of contract where specific risks have been identified. These situations would include hospitals and surgeries, laboratories, high level work, lifting and heavy machinery, toxic chemicals, drilling and welding, loud noise etc.
We are proud of our track record to date and are determined to maintain it.
Insurance
As you would expect from a professional company, we carry extensive insurance - our standard cover for Employer's Liability is £45m and £5m for Public and Products Liability - and our staff are all fidelity guaranteed and insured to hold keys and alarm codes.
Our policy is available for inspection and any additional special risks can be catered for.
