HEALTH & SAFETY AND QUALITY ASSURANCE

At GIP our whole team recognises the importance of effective Health & Safety policies and, in line with this, our Health & Safety officer is tasked with monitoring and updating those policies and ensuring that all staff are appropriately trained as necessary. Full training records are held for each staff member and are reviewed and updated throughout the year. Our policies are audited annually by our external Health & Safety advisor, who is also tasked with on-going monthly reviews of processes and procedures.

All staff hold a relevant CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme) card.

At GIP we pride ourselves on the quality of our work, whether it be bore hole logging, laboratory testing or interpretative reporting. In order to maintain a consistent level of quality in all areas of our business, we operate a quality management system which is ISO 9001:2000 accredited with our labs having UKAS accreditation for a wide range of testing procedures to BS 1377
