Fire & First Aid

Fire and physical accidents are a constant hazard for construction projects and that is why Wilson James Logistics Operatives regularly receive fire and first aid training.  Our Fire Marshals will:

• Patrol to ensure all fire exits and escape routes are kept clear at all times and that all fire points are in a serviceable condition,
• Co-ordinate evacuation procedures, including the planning and implementation of evacuation drills,
• Carry out fire audits,
• Monitor and test fire alarm systems,
• Co-ordinate hot works permits, including ensuring compliance and sign off,
• Discipline any person whatsoever whose actions threaten the fire integrity of the building and the works.

As well as providing first aid trained staff, Wilson James can provide an on site occupational health facility.  The aim of this service is to promote the benefits of a healthier work environment, leading to measurable benefits, including:

• A reduction in the amount of lost time to construction through ill health,
• A reduction in the number of accidents, minor & reportable,
• The promotion of good health through training and education.
