Health & Safety

Above all else our priority is to ensure the safety of our employees and everyone who comes into contact with our business.

Safety is Our Priority

At GPF Lewis, safety is paramount. We are relentless in our pursuit of a Zero-Harm environment, and this commitment is embedded in every aspect of our work.

Here's how we achieve this:

  • Positive Safety Culture: We foster a collaborative and open environment where everyone feels empowered to raise safety concerns. This is underpinned by clear and comprehensive health and safety policies, procedures and standards. These are regularly reviewed and cover everyone on-site, from our own employees to subcontractors and visitors.
  • Strong Leadership: Our leadership team leads by example, with unwavering commitment to health and safety. This is spearheaded by our dedicated Director of Health, Safety and Compliance. This commitment extends to our highly active team of health and safety professionals who are visible across all our projects.
  • Rigorous Inspections: We conduct regular, documented site inspections to maintain consistently high safety standards. These inspections not only identify potential hazards but also reinforce our positive safety culture.

By prioritizing safety throughout our operations, we create a work environment where everyone feels valued and protected. This, in turn, allows us to deliver exceptional projects for our clients.

Mental Health

We recognise that mental health is just as important as physical health and we promote several schemes to promote positive wellbeing. GPF Lewis are signatories to the Building Mental Health Charter. We also have a team of Mental Health First Aiders who are trained to spot the signs of mental ill health and to provide initial support to colleagues who need assistance.
