Vale Decorators UK Limited demonstrates an overriding commitment to Health and Safety. We have not just one but two internal, directly employed Health and Safety qualified directors, both having diplomas in Occupational Safety and Health and are both members of the Institute of Risk and Safety Management. Appointed Health and Safety Director Robert Gribbin is also a Chartered Member of the Institute of Safety and Health (CMIOSH).

Health and Safety Directors produce and maintain our health and safety policies, procedures, site specific risk assessments and method statements. All employees are fully inducted on these Policies and Procedures at commencement of employment and ongoing training is provided on a continuous basis, via site inductions, toolbox talks, in-house training and any changes to legislation.

Our Health and Safety Directors are also responsible to assess the training requirements of all our employees ensuring that all staff are competent to carry out their duties, including but not limited to, First Aid, Asbestos Awareness and Working at Height Training.
