At NU Construction we believe in taking total responsibility for our health and safety performance, the environment and world we live in, our business ethics, the way we treat people and our role in the wider community.
Health and safety of our employees, sub-contractors and the general public is our number one priority and we operate a formal safety management system in conjunction with our published Health and Safety policy.
We have an outstanding record in health and safety and as a result our accident frequency rate is one of the lowest in our sector.
In conjunction with our excellent risk management and low incidence of accidents we pay particular attention to specific occupational health risks and our aim is to ensure that no harm to our employees health occurs as a result of our activities.
Read our Health and Safety policyWe realise that alongside health and safety the environment is rapidly becoming the key issue facing companies in all industry sectors, particularly the construction industry.
Therefore we aim to prevent environmental harm from any of our business activities. Environmental management and systems are at the core of our business strategy, protecting the world we live in is not optional.
We are currently working towards achieving ISO14001 as part of our Environmental Stewardship Programme which will constantly review and qualify our environmental impact in respect of carbon footprint, water footprint, waste and recycling, noise and vibrations and emissions and odours.
All industries and sectors must change and adapt operating procedures in the future.
The industrialised age must give way to a new ecological age and work towards sustainable and less harmful business practices. At NU Construction we are aware that the current construction industry model is not sustainable in the long term and we have embarked on a policy of environmental changes utilising developments in technology, materials and construction techniques to lessen our impact. This is a process of continued development and improvement that is integral to our core values and business direction.
The NU Construction environmental policy includes:
NU Construction is a people business, our teams are what makes our company special.
In order to develop the skills and abilities of our people we aim to provide a safe, healthy, challenging and rewarding environment for all employees and allow them to use their talents to the full through continual training and development.
The objectives and performance of the company are clearly communicated and performance of individuals is rewarded. All employees receive equal treatment regardless of age, gender, origin, disability, religion or beliefs.
At NU Construction we realise our activities have an impact on the wider community and as a result we are committed to making a positive difference and we seek to engage with communities and keep them fully informed of all issues which might affect them.
