Marine Demolition & Dismantling Specialists

We are currently the only company working on the River Thames that has been granted a permanent works licence from the Port of London Authority.

HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY, RISK ASSESSMENT AND METHOD STATEMENT

Every vessel is different therefore our Health & Safety Policy, Risk Assessments and Method Statements are always specific to the vessel.

A comprehensive Health & Safety Policy, Risk Assessment and Method Statement is drawn up for each vessel, and is always in place and available for our clients perusal, prior to any work commencing.
 

HEALTH & SAFETY POLICY

 

Secure Measures Marine considers Health and Safety to be of the paramount importance and an integral part of our business.

We recognise that under the Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) we have a legal duty to ensure the health, safety and welfare of all of our employees and any other parties that may be affected by our activities.
 

 

We continuously work towards improving and developing our Health and Safety Policy. We monitor our progress and performance and take corrective action where necessary, in order to maintain our health and safety standards.
 

 

RISK ASSESSMENT

Secure Measures Marine uses Risk Assessments to systematically evaluate the potential risks that may be involved in a particular activity during the course of our works being carried out.

We consider Risk Assessments very important as they form an integral part of a good health and safety management plan.

We use Risk Assessments to raise awareness of hazards, identify who may be at risk, and to prioritise hazards and control measures in an effort to create a safer working environment.
 

 

Our Risk Assessments detail the possible risks associated with our works and the methods of control to be established, to show how the work will be managed safely.
 

 

 

METHOD STATEMENT

Secure Measures Marine use Method Statements to describe, in sequential order, exactly how a job is to be carried out and to detail the way in which each particular task is to be completed.
 

 

Sometimes due to circumstances beyond our control, i.e. sudden inclement weather, it may become necessary to deviate from the original Method Statement in order to maintain a safe working environment and reduce hazard risks. This ensures that our works are completed in a safe and efficient manner.
 

ENVIRONMENT

Secure Measures Marine strive to maintain and improve the surrounding area of the working environment by preventing pollution, using the best environmentally friendly practice for the given situation. Environmental commitments are an integral part of our day to day running.

We continuously try to eliminate, or minimise the impact of our working activity on the environment in which we operate by promoting recycling and minimising waste.

We are always looking for the best ways to improve our energy efficiency in our work to try and help reduce the carbon footprint.

A range of techniques is used to produce good quality cutting on materials of varying thickness.
