The SCS Culture
Safety, Health, Environmental and Quality
At SCS we take Health and Safety seriously, and recognise that a safe site is also a productive site. We have an in house H&S Advisor, who performs regular unannounced visits and produces photographic site reports which are issued to our Clients site team as an objective record.

We pioneered initiatives such as "Don't walk By" and "See your Family tonight" which have now been adopted by our Main Contractor clients as part of their own site safety management systems.
Implemented the NotifyIT app to aid the reporting of near misses.
With an in house Quality Representative, our Integrated Management System (IMS) is the framework for our Companies procedures and processes, this is led from Top Management through to Site Operatives, certified to ISO 45001, 14001 and 9001 standards, together with accreditations from Achilles, CHAS and ConstructionLine.






We understand that in order to deliver a responsible sustainable Company, we promote inclusion from Employees and our Supply Chain.
Providing a Safe and Productive working environment, minimising the Environmental Impact of construction activities, through careful planning and preparation at the design stage, we can reduce waste and eliminate unnecessary deliveries and actively support local Apprenticeships.
