“Exceptional” safety culture and welfare facilities at Blunts Farm

Our Blunts Farm depot welcomed back the Considerate Constructors Scheme (CCS) monitor last week. During this visit, it was noted that the site promotes an “exceptional image of the industry with a well-presented workplace”.
Scoring us against the latest checklist, the monitor said that environmental performance is managed to an “excellent level” and an exceptional safety culture is “evident”.

Well done Carl and our Blunts team for maintaining your brilliant score.

(Any site that registers with the Scheme makes a commitment to meet the minimum requirements of the Scheme’s Code of Considerate Practice in these categories: appearance, community, environment, safety and workforce)
