LTC Group87

Health & safety

Working at height is what we do, in all four divisions. Nothing we erect, hire or teach is worth someone not going home.

Policy statement

Our commitment

LTC Group87 Ltd and its divisions recognise their duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the Work at Height Regulations 2005, LOLER, PUWER and CDM 2015. The directors hold overall responsibility for health, safety and welfare and review this policy annually.

We will provide safe systems of work, competent and trained people, well-maintained plant and equipment, and the information and supervision needed to work without harm. Every employee has the right and the duty to stop work they believe is unsafe.

CompetenceEvery scaffolder holds a CISRS card. Every MEWP operator holds IPAF. Every hoist engineer is trained and assessed on the equipment they install. Training is delivered in-house by LTC Training Services.

PlanningSite-specific risk assessments and method statements before every job. Designed scaffolds and temporary works checked by a competent designer.

EquipmentPowered access and hoists carry current LOLER thorough examinations. Scaffold materials are inspected on every return to depot.

InspectionScaffolds inspected every seven days and after adverse weather. Hoists inspected weekly for the life of the hire.

How we work

TG20 and SG4

Scaffolds erected to NASC TG20 and the SG4 guidance for preventing falls during erection and dismantling.

Near-miss reporting

Every near miss is logged and reviewed at the monthly safety meeting. Trends drive toolbox talks.

Behavioural safety

Supervisors trained to challenge and coach. Our Best Supervisor award recognises it.

Mental health

Trained Mental Health First Aiders across the group. Wellbeing is part of health and safety, not separate from it.
