Accreditation

Safety is a crucial issue for anyone working in the construction sector and for householders and property owners too. Two members of the team Neil Mckaskie and Richard Thorburn have attained NEBOSH qualifications in Construction Health and Safety and Occupational Health and Safety. Neil and Richard have provided leadership in setting an effective safety culture in the company.

We are registered with Gas Safe for all gas installations and maintain the highest standards of safety throughout our building projects.

Environmental issues are central to the activities of Atkinson Building Contractors. As an environmentally aware organisation, managing environmental issues in a systematic way is important to us. In 2004 we were awarded the Bronze standard in recognition of achieving excellence in environmental practice within our business by the Cumbria Business Environment Network and in 2005 we have been successful in achieving the Silver standard. Our Environmental Management Systems have been developed and achieved the Gold standard in 2006, which was retained in 2007 and 2008.

In order to promote good environmental practices, our aims are:

To identify the significant environmental impacts of our activities.
To develop suitable objectives, targets and management programmes, applying appropriate operational procedures to minimise our significant environmental impacts during normal, abnormal and emergency conditions.
To comply with relevant legislation, regulation and other requirements relating to our significant environmental impacts.
To prevent pollution, minimise our inputs of utilities and resources and the outputs of emissions to the atmosphere, effluents to waters/sewers and wastes to disposal facilities; endeavouring to re-use, recover or recycle (in particular paper, cardboard, tin, glass, plastic, polystyrene and batteries for transfer to Eden Community Recycling) materials where practicable.
To ensure that environmental responsibilities are defined, communicated and understood at all levels within our organisation and provide appropriate training where needed.
To ensure that suppliers and subcontractors understand the Company Policy and assist them in developing appropriate systems and a responsible approach with regard to environmental issues.
To communicate, co-operate and respond to the views of interested parties, including customers and the general public, on environmental issues, where this is practicable and likely to result in an overall improved environmental performance.
To strive for continual improvement in overall environmental performance.
