Health, Safety & Wellbeing

At Defect Specialists, our H&S policy ensures a zero-harm workspace, by means of innovative H&S systems, internal and external audits/inspections, and the fundamental belief that all work-related injuries and illnesses are preventable.

Defect Specialists will always meet their obligations under the Health & Safety in Employment Act 1992, the Health & Safety in Employment Regulations 1995, codes of practice and all relevant standards or guidelines that apply to the industry.

We have extensive experience in sensitive live environments such as schools, medical facilities, and high-security spaces e.g. military training camps.

Each project has its own unique H&S requirements, so we will implement site-specific safety plans to counter the needs and risks associated. We are 100% committed to creating a safe environment for everyone.
