Keeping health and safety under wraps!
It’s July and there’s nothing quite like this hot spell of weather to remind us that summer has
is in full swing!
While wrapping up may feel like a distant memory, one business has made it their trade!
Embrace wraps building sites, stadiums and renovation projects across the UK, as a way of
making building work more aesthetically pleasing, or to advertise a project.
The very nature of building wraps means there are also a number of health and safety issues to
take into account. Things like preparing the scaffolding, ensuring pathways are clear and that
there is no risk to the general public or site staff, all need to be taken into consideration.
Here at Health and Safety Mentor, we recently had the pleasure of working with Embrace
Building Wraps, which has impressive names like Selfridges under its belt.
Embrace’s Operations Director, Gary Newton, kindly agreed to leave us a case study and great
review of our services, saying: “When you wrap large buildings like Selfridges, staff and the
public’s health and safety is of paramount importance.”
We sat down with Gary to talk all things building wraps and health and safety requirements,
including how HSM jumped in to grasp the issues Embrace were facing, how we dealt with them
and how we will work together going forward.
We also asked Gary what it was that made HSM stand out from the crowd and he said: “With so
many changes in legislation these days, our Health & Safety Mentor Consultant delivers a
comprehensive, professional, up to date and tailored service that allows us to focus on the day
to day running of the business. We also enjoy the added benefit of having the same Consultant
many years down the line, so they feel a valued part of the business.”
Gary added: “Monitoring robust health and safety policies & procedures is paramount. Embrace,
alongside delivering cutting-edge building wraps has always been about caring for our team,
sub-contractors, customers & the public. Promoting improved safety is key for staff morale and
our customer’s trust.”
