When it comes to building maintenance, health and safety isn’t just a legal requirement — it’s the
foundation of every successful project. Whether it’s repairing a roof, maintaining a car park, or
carrying out ground works, safe working practices protect lives, minimise risk, and ensure long-term
trust with clients.
The Real-World Risks
Building maintenance often involves high-risk environments — working at height, using power tools,
handling hazardous materials, or working near the public. Without proper training, planning, and
protection, these jobs can quickly become dangerous.
According to the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), the construction and maintenance sector
continues to be one of the UK’s most hazardous industries. That’s why a proactive approach to
safety is essential — not just for compliance, but for keeping everyone safe.
What We’re Doing to Stay Safe
At Oncall Property Services, we take health and safety seriously. Every project begins with detailed
risk assessments and method statements. Our staff are fully trained, qualified, and equipped with
the right tools and PPE to get the job done safely.
We also:
Carry out regular site inspections
Keep up-to-date with legislation and best practices
Encourage open communication about risks and near-misses
Provide ongoing safety training for our teams
Building a Culture of Safety
Health and safety isn’t just the responsibility of managers — it’s a mindset shared by everyone on
site. We believe that when safety becomes second nature, quality improves, downtime decreases,
and projects run more smoothly.
Final Thoughts
For us, health and safety isn’t a box-ticking exercise. It’s a core part of how we do business. When
clients choose us, they know they’re working with a team that prioritises people, not just projects.
