company management system based on our safety, quality and environmental policies.
This provides maximum control and ensures consistency of approach.
Construction is unique compared to other industries (e.g. manufacturing). It has been
repeatedly stated that each construction project is different from another by presenting
different situations and problems during its execution.
Planning and execution under time and budget pressures, temporary workers with various
skills, and works influenced by weather conditions and external environments are some
characteristics that differs construction projects from projects in other industries. These
characteristics make construction projectsface hazardous conditions that are potential to
cause accidents.
ATTAYEE is committed to providing a safe environment for all of its employees, visitors to
sites and members of the public. We recognise the importance of culture in achieving our
safety objectives, and that embedding safe behaviour and safety attitudes is a long-term
process. The strongest influence on the safety culture in an organisation is the ‘message
from the top’. Our proactive approach to safety ensures all our employees know the part
they have to play in maintaining our high safety standards, and this is supported by an
extensive training programme.
We at ATTAYEE believe that the following activities are vital in achieving a good safety
culture:
01. Genuine, visible leadership and commitment from the top on health and safety issues.
02. Acceptance that achieving good health and safety performance is a longterm strategy that requires sustained interest and efforts.
03. Treating health and safety performance as a business objective, and resourcing it
adequately.
04. Ensuring that health and safety is a line management responsibility and that managers
understand their own role in promoting and protecting their own health and safety and
that of their staff.
05. Creating ‘ownership’ of health and safety throughout all levels within the organisation.
This requires employee involvement, training and communication programmes so that
staff can identify hazards/risks, suggest control measures, provide feedback, and feel
that they ‘own’ safety procedures
06. Providing high quality training to the staff that is properly managed, meets the
requirements of the organisation, has well-chosen, high quality content.
07. Setting realistic and achievable targets, receiving adequate & up-to-date performance
information, and measuring performance against the targets.
08. Ensuring that incidents (injury accidents, non-injury accidents and near misses) are
thoroughly investigated and actions taken to prevent their recurrence.
09. Ensuring audits and assessments are carried out and resultant actions taken promtly.
10. Making good safety behaviour a condition of employment, part of the job description,
and part of the employee performance review.
