Safety, Quality and Environmental issues have top priority at RJT. We have well established procedures and accreditation – ISO 9001, OHSAS18001, and 14001 – to ensure we manage all of our work activities to high and nationally recognised standards.

Each of our site supervisors has passed the 5 day CITB site manager’s safety course, and is trained to level 3NVQ for supervision of construction activities. All our managers and employees have attained the relevant CSCS and CPCS skills cards for the tasks they perform.

At RJT we directly employ our own Health, Safety and Training Manager and operate a CITB accredited training centre, with in-house instructors and assessors providing training in compliance with Construction Skills. Having our own training facility enables us to react quickly and efficiently to the ever changing requirements and needs of the Construction Industry.

Our systems for training and development of our workforce with CITB accredited instructors and assessors enables us to constantly monitor the competency and adequacy of operators thus provide the necessary knowledge and skills to implement and comply with all health, safety, environmental legislation and best practice.

RJT employs WAMITAB qualified managers to provide advice and practical input to help reduce the carbon footprint of construction work. We can provide or assist with development of waste management and surface water management plans and have knowledge and expertise in remediation and recycling, which can achieve cost savings as well as environmental benefits.
