Health & Safety

Health & Safety is the No1 Priority for Terra Solutions and is the first aspect considered for all the work carried out wether it is from Supply of equipment, Design of infrastructure or Construction of Trenchless projects. Working in such a high risk environment Terra Solutions has built a company ethos using Health & Safety as the keystone.

ISO18001

Many organizations are implementing an Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) as part of their risk management strategy to address changing legislation and protect their workforce.  An OHSMS promotes a safe and healthy working environment by providing a framework that allows your organization to consistently identify and control its health and safety risks, reduce the potential for accidents, aid legislative compliance and improve overall performance.  OHSAS 18001 is the internationally recognized assessment specification for occupational health and safety management systems.

Terra Solutions’ Health and Safety systems have been accredited to ISO 18001. 

CHAS

The Contractors Health and Safety Assessment scheme (CHAS) is established as the market leader for health and safety pre-qualification in the UK.  It is a non-commercial scheme available to suppliers (those who provide goods and services) and to organisations (buyers) looking for suitably competent suppliers.   Terra Solutions have achieved CHAS registration, demonstrating the company’s commitment to Health and Safety through its systems, processes and management.
