We're serious about safety
At GutterCare, we’re all about minimising health and safety risks. We work in hazardous environments and care about the health and safety of our team and those who might be negatively impacted as a result of our actions. This whole area is complex, and requires commitment from all involved and is subject to continuing review. GutterCare is fully committed to the ongoing process and strives to ensure that our team works to best practice guidelines. As part of this process, GutterCare instructed an independent review of our overall health and safety programme by Impac Services and their PREQUAL program. We are proud to have achieved approved contractor status with them off the back of this.
If you represent a commercial enterprise, a trust, body corporate or simply wish to receive assurance that GutterCare is ‘fit for health and safety’, the Prequal endorsement speaks volumes. We will also be very happy to discuss any individual health and safety concerns on a per job basis. A key priority for GutterCare is to ensure that we manage our risks effectively. We will never instruct a team member to tackle any job which isn’t deemed safe to complete. On the very rare occasion that we simply can’t find a way, we will walk away!
