Crew Safety Induction
This induction is for all crew working for EPS installing our products and services across the UK.
Working on Client Sites
Site Inductions
- Before working on each site, you must complete a site-specific induction.
- If you have any questions after the induction, please speak to your crew boss.
Behaviour
- Please be mindful of your behaviour when on site, you represent EPS and our reputation with our clients.
- Be polite and avoid the use of foul language, especially when around others.
Our Safety
Yours, ours, and everyone else’s safety
- Be aware of those around you, especially work colleagues, and what you are doing. If you need to pause for 30 seconds until someone gets out of the way, then that’s ok.
- If something isn’t right, doesn’t look right, or you think something is unsafe, say something. If you need to say STOP, get the crew boss involved to make an assessment and ensure that it is safe to continue.
If you’re not sure
- If you’re not sure how to do something or it seems unsafe, ask you’re crew boss. Do not attempt to do it without following the instructions; some of the equipment can cause harm if not properly installed, as outlined in the procedures further on in this induction.
- Always ask if you’re unsure; there’s no such thing as a stupid question when it comes to safety.
