Health, Safety, Environment & Quality

At Venesky Brown, we strive to create the conditions for people to perform at their best on every project.

As a result, our approach to HSQE sits at the heart of everything we do. Our HSQE approach combines clear standards, ISO-certified management systems and visible leadership to support the physical and mental wellbeing of our workforce.

We work closely with clients and supply chain partners to create the conditions for safe, successful and high-quality project delivery on every project, every shift and for every person.

Health & Wellbeing

We recognise that good work is about more than being safe on site. We want our people to feel supported, connected and able to speak up.

Our health and wellbeing approach is designed to support people at work and beyond, combining practical benefits with a culture that encourages openness, prevention and early support.

  • Access to Aviva Wellbeing and Aviva Digital GP for health support
  • Medicash for everyday healthcare such as dental and optical
  • Industry-leading flexible working for our internal teams
  • Membership of Mates in Mind, providing mental health resources, training and a 24/7 helpline
  • Our commitment to train at least 1 in 10 people as mental health first aiders

We are committed to continually improving our approach to HSQE. We do this by staying curious about how risk is managed in practice and by working collaboratively to understand before we act. By asking more than we tell, we create an environment where people can do great work safely, successfully and sustainably.

Environment & Quality

Our safety and wellbeing commitments sit within a wider HSQE framework that also covers environmental impact and service quality.

Environmental Management

  • Our environmental management system is certified to ISO 14001, guiding how we minimise and manage our environmental footprint
  • We are strengthening our approach to energy and carbon management, including work towards ISO 50001

Quality Assurance

  • Quality checks are built into our recruitment and contractor-care processes, from vetting and onboarding through to payroll, compliance and ongoing support
  • Regular internal reviews and client audits help us maintain high standards and continuously improve the way we work
