Health and Safety

Architectural Aluminium and Glass Ltd are committed to providing a safe place of work for its employees, both on site and in our factory. We are committed to:

  • Conducting Health and Safety inspections to ensure we are providing a safe place of work for our employees
  • Eliminating or reducing potential Health and Safety risks
  • Providing adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to our employees to protect them from any potential harm
  • Conducting annual Risk Assessments on heavy machinery and the identified processes that may contribute towards the risk of causing harm
  • Providing adequate training and Safe Working Procedures to support the processes undertaken by our employees.
  • Consulting with our Health and Safety advisors, The Building Safety Group, on any identified issues, concerns or initiatives
  • Promoting and raising awareness of the Health and Safety at Work Act
  • Continually improving upon the Health and Safety practices already implemented

Environmental

In line with our Environmental Policy, we are committed to ensuring that the products we manufacture, and install are done so in a considerate manner with as little impact upon the environment as is reasonably practicable. We do this by:

  • Recycling aluminium, cardboard, paper, and plastic wherever possible.
  • Reducing the amount of power and water we use
  • Planning transport schedules effectively to reduce the amount of carbon emissions from our vehicles.
  • Raising awareness throughout our organisation on how to ‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ and the importance on how to be more energy efficient within the workplace

We believe that by implementing these measures we will help contribute towards building a cleaner, better environment for the future.

Wellbeing

Our employees are at the forefront of what we do, we believe in providing the correct training to enhance their skills and provide them with the right framework to excel and feel confident in the workplace. We do this by;

  • Engaging with our employees to ensure they are happy in their work environment
  • Build upon any suggestions our employees may have to improve upon their place of work
  • Raising awareness of the importance of ‘looking after yourself’ both physically and mentally
  • Supporting our employees where needed to ensure they have the resources required to fulfil their roles.

Community

We are proud to have previously assisted a local homeless charity ‘Help Bristol’s Homeless’ in erecting a decking area around the converted containers at their Spring Street Project in Bristol, which provides both a much-needed home and also opportunities for those that are homeless. In addition, we are proud to sponsor various local children’s football teams by providing them with new kits and are always looking at ways to help local charities and support local communities.
