Working together
with safety in mind
Keeping people & the environment safe
At Shannonside Civil Engineering Ltd, we have always put the health and safety of our people and everyone who works alongside us at the centre of our approach, striving to ensure that the way you turn up for work is the same way you return home to your loved ones.
We act responsibly by working safely, with consideration for all those affected by our operations and everything we do. We approach opportunities and problems with a proactive attitude that says "We can do something about this".
Our approach
Shannonside’s aim is to achieve first class performance in quality, health, safety and the environment by reducing and managing risks, eliminating potential injuries, preventing work related ill-health and minimising the effect of our activities on the environment.
For us quality forms an integral part of everything that we do, and we take the time to make sure that everyone who joins us understands its importance. It is present in every discussion and decision that takes place, from sites to planning, from pricing to project delivery.
As a company our main objective is to ensure a safe working environment for all staff, we are deemed responsible for. We are committed to, and encourage an open and honest safety culture.
We have a proactive approach to health and safety and the environment. Our main focus is to be in tune with our workforce, their needs, and the potential hazards they may face on a day to day basis, always dealing with them head on.
Our safety standards are championed by the directors of the company, and this is communicated consistently to all our staff.
We invest in our workforce to ensure that they have the required training to allow them to carry out their tasks safely, without harm to themselves or others around them.
Our commitment

Our procedures are continually reviewed and improved to meet current legislation.

All Shannonside staff from our directors to operative level staff understand the importance of safety and we have 100% CSCS & CPCS/NPORS compliance. In addition site supervisors hold both SSSTS & NVQ qualifications.
