Thomas Limited regards good health and safety as
the cornerstone of a successful business. It is
of the utmost importance to us that we care for
the safety, health and well being of our
employees and everyone else who interfaces with
our business activities. We are recognized
externally as one of the few employers driving
for continual improvement in our health, safety
and environmental performance.
Our
approach to managing health and safety is
structured (HSG 65/OHSAS 18001), and risk based.
We aim to create a safe working environment by
identifying and assessing risks, adapting good
working practice and ensuring that safe systems
of work are in place across all business
activities.
The company’s accident frequency/incident rate
continues to be significantly better than
industry standard as published in the Health and
Safety Executive Annual Report (National
Industry Statistics).

We have an
environmental sustainability programme that
encourages the reduction of impacts on our
environment, through better design, development,
impact assessments, a competent supply of
materials and a structured environmental
awareness programme. We are annually setting
ourselves targets (above the national targets)
to reduce all impacts that our business has on
the environment. We believe that we have a major
role to play in the development of a waste
management sustainability programme that is not
only meeting the national sustainability
requirements but achieving greater results
across all aspects of environmental reductions.
We have
also gained accreditation to; Achilles –
Building in confidence, CHAS/Construction Line,
OHSAS 18001 (1999) and ISO 14001 (2004).
