Health & Wellbeing
For everyone involved in working in hazardous conditions, health and safety considerations are always paramount.
SGC Civil Engineering holds SafeContractor and Constructionline Gold accreditation, both members of Safety Schemes in Procurement (SSIP), and is registered with the Considerate Constructors Scheme. The benefits include:
- Reassurance for main contractors that we meet health and safety standards according to the SSIP Core Criteria
- Saves time in the procurement process
- Documented policies and procedures to minimise risk on building sites
- An embedded culture of safety training, and steps taken to consider team welfare
Aiming for zero accident reports
We're proud that we already have a very low level of accidents. This is due to ongoing behavioural based safety training which acknowledges that human error is a frequent cause of minor and serious injuries.
The aim of our behaviour-based approach is to reduce the occurrence of risky behaviour through observation, feedback, and positive interventions.
Mental health matters
As an employer of a largely male workforce, working in an environment that has a reputation for keeping troubling emotions bottled up, we aim to break the taboos that stop men from asking for help.
We are open about mental health issues, and offer help and support to team members struggling with anxiety, depression or other forms of mental distress. We have trained mental health first aiders across the business, and they are signposted on every one of our sites.
Our team is like family to me, and if someone is struggling, I'll be there to support them.
