Policies

We have a commitment to quality and high standards not only in our painting, decorating and finishes, but also in the calibre of our operatives, supervisors and managers. This commitment to quality is enshrined in our operating policies and recognised in our accreditations.

HEALTH & SAFETY
Our approach to Health and Safety is based on the idea of personal commitment. We believe everyone has a duty to take care of themselves and those around them.

Cousins is committed to creating a working environment where everyone feels safe, is part of a team, valued and able to realise their full potential.The success of our business depends on employing talented, motivated, professional employees. We strive to create an environment where employees can develop and grow in an inspiring team environment. The actions of our people are also important to us in achieving our long-term sustainability aims.

We adhere to all current Health and Safety Legislation, and employ a full time Health and Safety Manager to promote Health and Safety throughout our organisation.

We are fully experienced in carrying out risk assessments, COSHH assessments and complying with the CDM Regulations as principle contractor or trade contractor.

Safe Contractor Approved
Cousins Group is SSIP (Safety Schemes in Procurement) accredited by CHAS, Safecontractor and Safemark.

The scheme recognises very high standards of health and safety practise amongst UK contractors.
Under the SAFEcontractor scheme businesses undergo a vetting process, which examines health and safety procedures and their track record for safe practice.

SUSTAINABILTY AND ENVIRONMENTAL CARE
Sustainability is a corporate value. It is a process of ensuring the wise use of all resources within a framework in which economic, environmental and social factors are integrated and balanced thus improving the quality of life both now and for generations to come.
