Health & Safety
Newlands Construction Health & Safety Commitment
At Newlands Construction Limited, we take our responsibility for health & safety extremely seriously. Whether we are delivering large-scale construction projects, specialist groundworks, or civil engineering services in Surrey, the safety of our employees, subcontractors, clients, and visitors is our highest priority. We ensure that safety is not just a responsibility, but a core part of how we operate on every site. This commitment is also formally recognised by the prestigious health and safety award we have received.
We are committed to providing and maintaining safe and healthy working conditions for all team members. This includes ensuring that all tools, machinery, and equipment are fit for purpose, regularly inspected, and maintained to the highest standards. Our systems of work are carefully designed to reduce risk, protect well-being, and allow our workforce to operate confidently and efficiently. This is achieved through continuous training and a culture of accountability, ensuring every project is completed without incident. We provide our clients with total peace of mind and complete confidence in our operations from start to finish.
Health & Safety begins with knowledge. We provide comprehensive information, training, and supervision to every member of our team. From new starters to experienced operatives, everyone receives clear guidance on safe working practices, risk awareness, and the correct use of equipment. For our specialist groundworks and civil engineering teams, this also means training that is specific to site traffic management and working around utilities, ensuring our people have the skills they need for the work they do. Our unwavering commitment to safety gives our clients complete assurance that project programmes will be maintained. It ensures every site operates with an exemplary safety record, safeguarding everyone on the job.
We encourage a proactive safety culture where everyone is responsible for spotting and reporting potential hazards. Open communication between site operatives, supervisors, and management ensures that concerns are addressed immediately and improvements can be made without delay. By working together in this way, we maintain our strong safety record and protect everyone involved in our projects.
Our policies and procedures are regularly reviewed to meet the latest UK health & safety legislation, including the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974. We conduct detailed risk assessments before starting any project in Surrey or the surrounding areas, identifying possible hazards and putting effective control measures in place. This approach helps prevent accidents before they happen and allows us to keep our projects running smoothly.
We also recognise that health & safety are linked to overall wellbeing. A safe workplace supports not only the physical health of our employees but also their mental health. We are committed to creating a working environment where our team feels secure, supported, and valued. We achieve this by fostering open communication and providing accessible support for all. Our belief is that a happy, healthy team is a highly productive one, delivering exceptional work with great care and attention.
At Newlands Construction Limited, health & safety are at the forefront of every decision we make. By combining resilient systems, high-quality training, and a company-wide commitment to safety, we deliver our projects, whether large construction builds or specialist groundworks, with complete confidence. Clients can trust that every job we undertake in Surrey and beyond is carried out with the highest regard for the safety of everyone involved.
