Responsibility

A628 Penny Pie Park - Barnsley Metropolitan Borough Council 8.jpg

The Carter Taylor Civil Engineering team understand our responsibility to act with trust and integrity, and to represent our industry as ethically, environmentally conscious, and by conducting ourselves as responsibly as possible.

Health, safety, quality, and environmental considerations are foundational elements of our day-to-day civil engineering operations.

We consistently monitor specific key performance indicators to measure our progress and ensure best practice is actioned and implemented from the start.

We have developed a robust Health and Safety policy and our quality management system were both born from our belief that the health, safety, and welfare of our stakeholders is paramount. Our quality management system ensures we meet the current legislation, codes of practice, and safety guidance at all times.

We pride ourselves in placing great emphasis on implementing safe systems of work, using modern safer plant and equipment, and making sure our workforce is trained and informed of the latest health and safety guidance.

Our colleagues are individually assessed to establish their specific training requirements, and each employee is provided with a specific training programme to meet their needs. As a bare minimum, all operatives are CSCS registered, and all supervisors are SMSTS or SSSTS qualified.

We are proud to hold Elite level CHAS accreditation which meets the common assessment standard.

Although the projects we help our clients to deliver have significant benefits and a positive impact for end users, we understand the construction process can be a challenging experience for communities surrounding these sites.

To help mitigate this, our team exhibits a proactive attitude to minimising potential disruption, including flexible working hours, low-noise/emission machinery, and innovative working techniques.

We have always endeavoured to have a positive impact on the communities we work in. In 2023 we will be implementing a staff volunteer programme and are aiming to offer a helping hand to community groups, schools, and sports clubs.

Carter Taylor Civil Engineering is committed to a responsible and progressive approach to environmental sustainability.

We pride ourselves on our determination to reduce the environmental impact of our work.

As a minimum, we aim to responsibly source our materials, implement comprehensive waste management policies (in line with WRAP protocol), and monitor and control noise levels on specific sites. We operate a comprehensive environmental management system.

Carter Taylor Civil Engineering operates an ongoing policy of supplanting old vehicles, plant, and equipment with more efficient replacements once they have reached the end of their useful working life.

We aim to reduce the fuel consumption and emissions of our fleet and we are currently using fuel made from hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), which we are aiming to roll out across all sites by the end of 2023.
