Safety: The Cornerstone of Our Operations

At the Simkiss Group, safety is not just a priority—it is the foundation of everything we do. Our commitment to health, safety, and environmental responsibility goes far beyond mere compliance with industry standards. It is embedded into our culture, guiding every decision, process, and interaction. We recognise that a truly sustainable and successful business is one that not only meets but exceeds safety expectations, protecting our people, clients, and the communities we serve.

A Proactive Approach to Health and Safety

We believe that achieving a safe working environment requires more than just adhering to regulations; it demands a proactive and continuous commitment. That’s why we invest significant time, energy, and resources into integrating health and safety into every facet of our operations. Our goal is clear: to achieve a zero-incident workplace where everyone feels empowered and equipped to prioritise safety.

Our workforce is at the heart of our health and safety strategy. We provide comprehensive training to ensure that every employee understands their role in maintaining a safe workplace. This includes:

  • Regular health and safety training tailored to specific roles.
  • Clear communication channels for reporting hazards or safety concerns.
  • Continuous professional development to stay updated on the latest safety practices and regulations.

By fostering a culture where safety is second nature, we empower our employees to take ownership of their well-being and that of their colleagues.

Our target of zero incidents is more than an aspiration—it’s a daily commitment. To achieve this, we:

  • Conduct regular audits and risk assessments to identify and mitigate potential hazards.
  • Implement robust incident tracking and reporting systems for continuous improvement.
  • Encourage open dialogue with employees and clients to refine safety practices and address concerns in real-time.

Commitment to Environmental Stewardship

Safety and environmental responsibility go hand in hand. At Simkiss, we are proud to have an environmentally-conscious workforce trained to minimise the ecological impact of our operations. We continuously assess and improve our processes to ensure they align with best practices for sustainability, helping us reduce waste, conserve resources, and operate in an eco-friendly manner.

  • ISO 14001: Reflects our focus on environmental management and sustainability.
  • ISO 45001: Highlights our leadership in occupational health and safety management.
