Health & Safety Training
In addition to the wealth of experience our engineers possess, they receive the highest standards of training, appropriate to their role, including:
- CCNSG Safety Passport
- IPAF 3a & 3b
- PASMA Tower
- LOLER & PUWER
- Work at Height - This bespoke course covers work at height legislation, fall protection equipment inspection and use and includes a practical assessment on transferring safely from a MEWP basket to a fixed structure at height.
Each member of Street Cranexpress senior management have completed the IOSH Leading Safety course and our Service & Key Account management staff have successfully completed the NEBOSH General Certificate in Occupational Health and Safety.
Customer Site Visit
With a full-time SHEQ Manager and UK Service Managers trained to NEBOSH General Certificate standard, Street Cranexpress have the resources available to conduct pre-arranged safety visits on customer sites as required. This may include meeting with customer safety and management representatives to discuss challenges posed by specific hazards on site or safety audits to ensure our engineers are safe on site and performing their work professionally and in accordance with the information, instruction and training they receive.
Risk Assessment and Method Statement
In addition to the Site Risk Assessment and Site Method statements produced by our operational staff, a ‘Point-of-Work’ risk assessment and method statement is conducted by the engineer, prior to any work beginning on our customer’s sites. These documents, which are completed electronically on the engineers’ tablets, provide an opportunity to review the site conditions on the day and assess any hazards present to our engineers, other contractors and customer staff, which have not already been considered during the Site Risk Assessment. The relevant customer representative views the dynamic risk assessment and method of work before any work begins.
PPE and Fall Protection Equipment
Following consultation with our staff, Petzl harnesses, lanyards and hard hats are purchased and issued to each engineer. Although Petzl are commonly associated with recreational climbing, the conform, safety and ease of use of their products are a perfect match for our engineers who spend a great amount of their days working at height.
Environmental
Street Cranexpress acknowledges the impact that our operations may potentially have on the environment. Our environmental management system continually meets the requirements of ISO 14001:2015.
Our waste carrier licence allows us to remove any waste we have generated on customer sites and dispose of this via the appropriate waste stream.
COVID-19
We are extremely proud of how our business reacted to the COVID-19 pandemic and continued our operations in the face of a challenge like nothing any of our staff have ever experienced in their lifetimes.
We have remained alert to advice produced by the government and have complied with their guidance on managing the risk of COVID-19, including:
- Carrying out a COVID-19 risk assessment and sharing the results with our staff
- Implementing additional cleaning, handwashing, and hygiene procedures in line with the guidance
- Taking all reasonable steps to help people work safety from a COVID-19 Secure workplace of work from home
- Taking all reasonable steps to maintain a 2m distance in the workplace
- Implemented mitigating actions where our work requires staff to be within 2m of each other, whilst ensuring at least a 1m distance.
