McInerney Homes NE has made a large investment in the safety of their staff and sub contractors when on site.

Ian Robson, newly appointed Safety, Health and Environmental manager for the company carried out a review of the training provided to all members of the company and identified a range of training required to ensure employees have the necessary levels of competence to undertake their roles safely whilst making sure that all colleagues are safe.

Highlighting the company’s commitment to personal development, over 20 employees, recommended by the company’s Construction Director Terry Harrison for their dedication to the company, completed the two day site safety supervisor course.

The key individuals, who are all crucial to the supervisory aspect of the sites, passed with flying colours. Many are supervisors and those who provide frontline supervisory support required to attain acceptable levels of health and safety on new build housing developments.

Ian said:

“The course was aimed at those responsible for the health and safety of the teams working on site and members of the public visiting our developments. Over two intensive days the delegates were introduced to the elements that all companies must comply with, along with the added expectations that McInerney focuses upon above and beyond what is expected.”

The training and development investment is now set to continue with training in practical aspects of the new homes industry such as power tool and safe scaffolding training.

Ian continued: “We are keen to invest in courses that not only benefit the individual but also have a greater benefit for our company and our customers. A full training and development plan for all employees is currently being drawn up for the coming year and a whole range of topics will be available from first aid through to formal qualifications of all disciplines.”
