Congratulations as SafeStyle Join GLASS Charter Scheme

Congratulations as SafeStyle Join GLASS Charter Scheme

Phil Pinnington, Director of Health and Safety commented that, “SafeStyle had taken on an innovative approach to sub-contractor safety and move forward. The development of a guidance pamphlet which all was given out to all employees regarding working at height was such a scheme. They had also introduced a hire scheme for their sub-contractors whereby they provide spurs for ladder use at £5 a week. On behalf of the GGF I congratulate Andy and his staff on attaining Bronze Level 2. I hope many other companies in the industry can follow lead and improve the health and safety in the working environment for their employees, suppliers and visitors to their premises.”

The GGF GLASS Charter was instigated in 2001 when the glass industry took up the Government’s Revitalising Health and Safety Initiative.  In partnership with both industry and the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) the Glass and Glazing Federation launched the GLASS Charter (Goal; Less Accidents, Safer Sites).  In 2016 the scheme was updated by the GGF in line with the Health and Safety Executive’s (HSE) five year strategy focusing on a pathway to continuous improvement.
