Health & Safety

The numbers are published. The standards are non-negotiable.

Safety at Burhouse isn't a policy folder on a shelf. It's a weekly conversation, a published set of numbers, and a culture that takes near misses seriously before they become incidents.

How safety actually runs

Published numbers

Our AFR, near-miss rate, and lost-time injury data is published internally every Monday and shared with clients on request. Hiding numbers helps nobody.

Welfare you'd use

Hot water, dry boots, a kettle that works, and a quiet space to eat. Basic, and yet not industry standard. We make it standard on every site.

Behavioural, not punitive

We coach, we don't fine. People report near misses because they know nothing bad happens to them when they do.

Subbie standards = our standards

Subcontractors get the same inductions, the same toolbox talks, and the same scrutiny as our own crew. The CDM hat is one size.
