All employed floorlayers hold the appropriate CSCS cards to enforce their Health & Safety awareness along with NVQ Level 2 qualification.
We have been awarded a Platinum Award from the CSCS for our commitment to improving competence in construction.
Site Supervisors actively carry out toolbox talks with our teams to ensure continued awareness of Health & Safety and Environmental procedures on site.
We employ a full time Health & Safety Co-ordinator along with a NEBOSH qualified Safety Advisor as well as using the services of an external management company, WA Management Training.
We employ our own qualified PAT testing engineer to enable us to keep control of our portable electrical equipment used by operatives on site.
Our waste is recycled where possible using the scheme Recofloor . The scheme accepts uplifted vinyl flooring and post-installation off-cuts. Vinyl flooring material is collected in bags and either picked up by Recofloor or dropped off at any participating flooring distributor or Recofloor drop-off site, located across the UK. Hillside Contracts are a participating drop off site.
The recycled flooring is either used to manufacturer new flooring or used to make traffic management products such as traffic cones and road sign bases.
