Our environment, health and safety

Stewart Milne Group encourages employees at all levels within the Company to take ownership for good environmental practice, through the provision of awareness training, emphasis on the correct operational procedures and good internal communication.

We maximise the benefits of timber framed design to reduce raw material waste during manufacture and construction, and further enhance the energy efficiency of residential and commercial developments.

Health & safety, quality and service are vital to us, and we build the highest standards of care into everything we do.

To fulfil our responsibilities we:

  • Monitor our standards and set targets in each of our divisions against Group KPIs. We benchmark these against best practice wherever possible.
  • Sustain the accreditations we’ve achieved. These include BS EN 9001:2000 and OHSAS 18001:1999, the Occupational Safety and Health International Management System standard that controls and improves key processes.
  • Continuously review and update our internal processes and procedures to strive towards zero accidents in the workplace.
  • Audit our sites and give a quantified score, against which we measure progress for each site and division. This ensures we approach things consistently, and apply the highest standards in controlling risk.
Chain of Custody
 

Stewart Milne Group have achieved chain of custody certification which allows us to know where all our timber originates. Certification verifies that products from certified forests are not mixed with products from uncertified forests. This means the customer can be sure the timber products they buy are from well-managed forests.
