All of our Manager receive risk assessment, investigation, fire and audit training. Additionally, all of our staff are given access to health and safety guidance/training, which provides guidance in a simple and practical way and we always aim to be compliant with HSE best practice guidance.
We are a member of The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) and we have a dedicated Health and Safety Team which is led by the Head of Safety who holds CMIOSH status with the Institute of Occupational Safety and Health.
Family involvement
Our approach at MacIntyre includes involving families in everything we do, which includes health and safety.
Reporting to our Trustees
We report to our Trustees Audit Committee with a sophisticated approach to identifying strengths and weaknesses so that health and safety objectives can be set and implemented. This process has resulted in better compliance, improved training and fewer injuries; from objective setting to risk assessments, training, thorough incident investigations and internal and external audits, all of these systems help us to maintain high standards of health and safety.
