Safety: Always a Priority

 

Four words: - THINK, ACT, WORK: SAFELY, combined make more than a simple sentence but a cultural based safety initiative.

 

At AJB Setting Out we believe that safety on site is important and should be the concern of everyone working onsite.

With this in might the safety and welfare of those we are working alongside or who maybe affected by our works is always at the forefront of our mind

Health and Safety Qualifications:

CSCS Card

NEBOSH Construction Certificate (Distinction)

First Aid at Work

CAT & Genny Training

AJB Setting Out have produced detailed and comprehensive Risk Assessments and Method Statements for all our site engineering and setting out activities in place that are reviewed, refined, and tailored to the activities, conditions, and the needs of a project on an individual basis.  Our commitment to safety means there are no generic RAMS produced or issued.

    

Our dedication to safety and taking initiative means that we have a Breaking Ground Policy (above) that is a traffic light system and this procedure has influenced our methodology and approach to setting out and marking out that has resulted in a Material Selection Hierarchy (below), which has also been emulated by one of our larger clients as a policy aimed at reducing service strikes with pins, demonstrating how we take a pro-active view to Health & Safety and forever looking to developing and improving our systems and controls.  

 

Surveying Equipment:

 

AJB Setting Out Limited has invested in equipment and now owns and operates a Robotic Total Station and Field Controller from Topcon with a complimentary Topcon Fleet of equipment and software. The advantage of operating a Robotic Total Station means that there is no requirement for an assistant to complete setting out tasks and surveying.

All instruments are regularly calibrated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturers tolerances and specification, in accordance with the laboratory accreditation requirements of both the United Kingdom Accreditation Service and ISO 17025. Calibration certificates are available on request and presented at the time of site induction.
