Health and Safety & Covid-19 Procedures

Information updates

We send regular COVID-19 updates to our workforce. They are well informed about symptoms as well as the general hygiene measures and social distancing.

All our tradespeople have been told they must confirm they are feeling well and haven’t experienced any symptoms of COVID-19. They do this first thing in the morning on a daily basis.

General hygiene measures

All of our workforce have been asked to follow the WHO’s standard infection control measures and Government advice:

• Frequently cleaning hands using alcohol-based hand sanitiser or soap and water
• When coughing or sneezing to cover the mouth and nose with a tissue or flexed elbow, then to dispose of the tissue immediately before washing hands
• Avoiding close contact with anyone who has a fever and cough
• To contact NHS 111 and seek medical care early if a fever, cough or breathing difficulty occurs
• Avoid touching your face, especially eyes, nose and mouth

PPE & hygiene supplies

We’re providing bottles of hand sanitiser to our tradespeople and asking them to clean their hands thoroughly when they enter or leave a customer’s property.

Our tradespeople are equipped with full personal protective equipment (PPE). In line with Government advice we’re not asking our tradespeople to wear them unless : –

• A person in the property has any symptoms of COVID-19
• A person in the property is in the “at risk” group i.e. over 60 or with underlying health issues
• A customer requests our tradesperson wears PPE

We have issued guidelines provided by Public Health England for how our staff should put on and remove their PPE before disposing of it. Sanitiser fluid has also been issued so tradespeople can clean equipment they take into a property.

What we need from our customers

We kindly ask our customers – at this time – when booking a job to inform us if anyone in the property is in isolation, has symptoms, or has been diagnosed with COVID-19.

We’re continuing to book jobs for customers who are self-isolating so that people aren’t left without essential services. Tradespeople scheduled for these jobs are prepared and equipped to take the necessary precautions. It’s of the utmost importance our staff are aware of people are self-isolating before entering a property. They can then protect themselves and reduce the risk of infection and spread of the virus.

 We’ll keep the information on this page updated regularly and as Government health recommendations change.

General Health & Safety

Health and safety is always a priority on all our projects, with the protection of our people and the public at the forefront of our company policies.

All our teams are well trained in current health and safety issues and at RENS MPS we follow updated Government HSE guidelines. Specifically in more recent times

Typically, we are appointed as the Principal Contractor under the Construction (Design & Management) Regulations 1994 on any project.

Construction phase health and safety plans are prepared in-house, with all the relevant information being forwarded to the planning co-ordinator, upon completion of the contract, to compile the archived health and safety file.

Whatever you need us for, you can always be confident that our approach to health and safety is as ironclad as any main contractor can be; contact us today at any time to discuss your building maintenance and painting and decorating requirements to find out more information about our strict health and safety policies.
