We realise the importance that Health and Safety plays within any modern contracting environment and ensuring the safety of the public, our employees, client staff and visitors to the works takes priority over all other considerations.
We retain the services of “The Health & Safety People Ltd” as our safety consultants and are members of the British Safety Council (Certificate 82933).

We are also current members of the Contractors Health and Safety Scheme (CHAS), which is administered by the London Borough of Merton on behalf of all London Boroughs and as such are subject to an annual assessment.
Our commitment to the Health & Safety principles is such that we employ a qualified Health and Safety Manager.

It is our aim to provide a working environment free of work related accidents and ill health; to this end we pursue continual improvement from year to year.

J B Riney & Co Ltd recognises that its various day-to-day operations can impact on the environment in a number of ways. The Company is committed to minimising any potential adverse effects on the environment wherever it has the power to do so.

In order to improve our environmental performance we developed and implemented an Environmental Management System, which met the requirements of the international standard ISO 14001.

In July 2004 our accreditation agency, BSI audited the system and we were very proud to be successfully registered to the ISO14001 international standard.

As a direct result of using the Environmental Management System we have been able to identify those significant aspects, which needed improvement. We have set ourselves some challenging targets and have put into place a number of programmes to help us achieve them.

One example of this is our achievement of recycling /re-use of 98% of waste materials.

We recognise the benefits of ensuring that work is executed to meet and, where possible, exceed the expectations of our clients first time; removing the delays, disruption and extra cost of reworking.

In order to achieve this, we support a fully integrated Quality Management System, registered to the international quality standard ISO 9001:2000 (Reg. FS 30755)

We have avoided treating our registration as simply a “certificate on the wall” we have embraced our Quality Management System and use it as the prime driver to achieve continual improvement.

This culture is driven through teamwork, communications, training and responsibility. A key responsibility for our contract managers is to fully understand our clients’ requirements for the contract and to work closely with them to achieve their aspirations for the contract. This information is then used to guide the workforce, supervisors and any suppliers.

J.B. Riney & Co Ltd is committed to providing professional, quality and value for money services. Our company policy sets out clear, measurable standards of service that our clients can expect to receive from us.

It also defines the way in which we deal with and communicate with our clients, residents and the general public. The standard is monitored to ensure that we strive to maintain and improve customer care performance.
The Company is committed to developing and maintaining long-term relationships with our customers. We recognise that our customers are our livelihood.
