Health and Safety Policy
At Groundform Developments Ltd we will take all reasonable steps to secure and maintain the Health, Safety and Welfare of all employees, contractors, clients and members of the public who may be affected by our activities. As a management team our objective is to maximize the well-being of each employee and their potential to contribute to the development of the company and ensure compliance with legislation, approved codes of Practice and Guidelines relevant to our operations. It is our policy and overall aim to educate each employee with safe work practices and through this education it is envisaged that the employees will work in a safe manner whether or not immediate supervision is present.  Safety is a core company value and safe working is integral part of how we plan, organise and undertake our business activities and operations. 
Our goal is to eliminate all hazards and potential hazards and reach an objective of zero injuries. Achieving this will require the full understanding of everyone in the organisation of their safety responsibilities and their commitment to fostering a proactive safety culture, based on the duty of care for oneself, one's co-workers and members of the public. The responsibility for safety in Groundform Developments Ltd proceeds from the board of management through to each supervisor and on to any member of staff. It is the responsibility of all line management to ensure that all employees are motivated to comply with the safety policies and procedures and that they are made aware of these policies. Management must be kept fully informed of the impact that activities under its control have on the safety policy and to take corrective action as appropriate. Equally all employees have a legal responsibility to co-operate in implementing the safety policies and standards as required by the safety management system.  In accordance with our culture, Groundform Developments Ltd will strive to achieve and maintain the highest possible standards of health and safety. At a very minimum we must conform to the requirements of the Irish and European legislation as it pertains to health and safety. We commit ourselves as a team, not only to comply with all Irish and European safety legislation, but to achieve high standards in occupational and environmental health and safety.

We are committed to continuous improvement and have established a Quality Management System which provides a framework for measuring and improving our performance. We have the following systems and procedures in place to support us in our aim of total customer satisfaction and continuous improvement throughout our business.  
There is 
regular gathering and monitoring of customer feedback, a customer complaints procedure, selection and performance monitoring of suppliers against set criteria, training and development for our employees, regular audit of our internal processes, measurable quality objectives which reflect our business aims and management reviews of audit results, customer feedback and complaints.

Our internal procedures are reviewed regularly and are held in a Quality Manual which is made available to all employees. This policy is posted on the Company Notice Board. Though the Managing Director has ultimate responsibility for Quality all employees have a responsibility within their own areas of work therefore helping to ensure that Quality is embedded within the whole of the company.

​Environmental Policy
It is in the company’s interest to have a planned approach towards prevention and reduction of waste and pollution leading to a long term reduction of costs, as prevention and reduction are more desirable and economical than damage repair after the event.
The company will control its activities to avoid causing unnecessary and unacceptable risks or adverse effects on the environment in line with the requirements of the Protection of the Environment Act, 2003, Waste Management (WEEE) (Amendment) Regulations, 2008 (S.I. No. 375 of 2008), as far as is reasonably practicable.
Responsibility for the environment is ranked equally with that for the health and safety of employees, the general public and others. Environmental awareness and individual responsibility will be developed amongst employees at all level with full and effective consultation being encouraged.
The company will continue to develop and improve standards by making use of available technology and developments, together with a waste recovery and recycling approach.  Plant, vehicles and equipment will be maintained and operated to provide the maximum environmental protection as far as practicable.
Local community interests will be taken into account and positive communication with the community entered into where appropriate. Clients, employees, the general public and all other person who may be affected will be made aware of any company activity which may affect the environment.
Natural habitats and wildlife will be respected and where appropriate within the control of the company, maintenance, restoration or creation of habitats will be encouraged. Groundform Developments Ltd will continue to strive towards Lean Construction which is concerned with the alignment and holistic pursuit of concurrent and continuous improvements in all dimensions of the built and natural environment: design, construction, activation, maintenance, salvaging, and recycling.
