Health & Safety
We at Kane are passionate about ensuring the Health, Safety and Wellbeing of all those affected by our works including our staff, stakeholders and all members of our supply chain is at the forefront of what we do.
Positive Safety Culture
To help us achieve this we have developed a Positive Safety Culture throughout the organisation, with the focus of everyone being able to carry out their work in a healthy, safe environment, where they go home at the end of every day without being harmed or injured. The Safety Culture of an organisation starts from the top and all those in a leadership position within Kane strive to ensure that a positive safety culture is ingrained throughout all teams.
ISO/IEC 45001 Occupational Health & Safety Standard
To help us to achieve this we have established a robust Health & Safety Management System which is accredited to the ISO/IEC 45001:2018 Occupational Health & Safety standard. Kane also ensures that works are carried out in accordance with industry best practice in relation to health & safety procedures. Health & Safety is the primary focus on each project, from the initial design stage right through to the end of the project, incorporating the future maintenance of the building.
