Quality, Safety and Environmental Management systems

Health & Safety

PN Daly Ltd. consider that the health and safety of all employees and of all people affected by our works is of paramount importance. While it is our responsibility to provide a safe place of work as far as is reasonably practical and to promote a company wide culture of accident and illness avoidance, the commitment to our health and safety policy is not an option for employees. it is mandatory for all staff at every level and breaches are treated as disciplinary matters.

We recognise that training and support are an integral part of an effective health and safety policy. Therefore our safety management system provides all of the following: comprehensive induction and ongoing training, incident and near miss investigation / action reporting performance monitoring, incident update briefings, programme of toolbox talks - usually contract specific.

Our independent health, safety and environment department has the responsibilty to provide ongoing advice, training and support to all management and staff.

Environmental Issues

PN Daly Ltd. endeavors to promote environmental best practice in all aspects of our work. This starts at the design/planning stage and continues throughout the life of the project. It ranges from full environmental impact studies, to liaison with client and local residents and to determination of the most appropriate route and construction technique(s).

Simple approaches to re-timing of works in the vicinity of schools and places of worship can reduce the impact of our work considerably, with only minor increases in cost. Our preferred pipework installation techniques are directional drilling and insertion (slip-lining, close-fit lining and live insertion methods). With narrow trenching they can considerably reduce the effect of our work on the environment.

We aim to minimise disturbance and inconvenience to others, minimise landfill requirements for disposal of waste by promotion of no-dig techniques and minimise requirements for diminishing natural resources - principally fuel and aggregates.
