Health & Safety in construction

Putting health and safety at the forefront of all we do

There can be no higher priority than the protection of your people and ours. Your fit out will be overseen by an award-winning health and safety team who actively promote an incident and injury-free mindset.

At Overbury, everyone is part of a team that delivers safely. Our goal is to create a health and safety culture on-site where people feel safe, act safe and get home safe.

Site specialists

Your project will have an assigned Health and Safety Manager and full access to our in-house Health, Safety and Wellbeing team. Our H&S advisor will be the central contact for safety-related issues and will carry out audits to ensure your project remains ISO 45001 compliant. They’ll also oversee site-specific training and issue bi-weekly reports to keep you updated.

Accredited health and safety management

All Overbury projects use an OHSAS 45001 accredited Safety Management System which is reviewed annually in-house and externally by the BSI. It’s detailed enough to provide exemplary guidance and flexible enough to allow change across every regional team.
