building trust and CSR values for customers

For customers, partnering with an ISO 45001-certified supplier, like The Joloda Hydraroll Group, ensures they are working with a company that prioritises health and safety throughout its operations. This commitment reduces potential delays in the supply chain and provides peace of mind that safety risks are actively managed. Furthermore, it aligns with customers' own Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals, as choosing a safety-conscious supplier supports responsible sourcing and enhances their brand reputation as one that values employee well-being and compliance.

employee training

At The Joloda Hydraroll Group, we believe that a well-informed, safety-conscious team is essential to our success and a cornerstone of our commitment to a safe and productive workplace.

Our approach to employee engagement and training ensures that every member of our team has the skills, knowledge, and confidence to perform their roles safely and effectively. Below are key components of our training strategy:

Training Programs

We provide and arrange a range of safety training programs to equip our employees with critical knowledge for safe and effective operations, including:

PPE Usage: Training on the correct use, maintenance, and storage of personal protective equipment to ensure ongoing compliance and protection.
Machine Operation Safety: Instruction on safe operation procedures for machinery, with a focus on minimising risk and enhancing operator confidence.
Lockout/Tagout (LOTO): Comprehensive training on energy control procedures, helping prevent accidental equipment start-up during maintenance.

CSCS (Construction Skills Certification Scheme): Certification and training for employees in our team, enhancing site safety and operational knowledge.

HAVS (Hand-Arm Vibration Training): equips our employees with the knowledge and skills to identify vibration-related risks, adopt safe work practices, and implement preventative measures to protect their health and prevent the onset of HAVS.

IOSH managing safely

Specific members of our management and supervision teams are prepared to lead by example in safety and incident response with them receiving IOSH Managing Safety training. This training provides them with essential skills in risk assessment, hazard control, and help continue a safety-conscious culture across the organisation.

Incident Reporting and Response

The Joloda Hydraroll Group's use of My Compliance for incident reporting and response significantly enhances its safety culture by creating transparency, accountability, and continuous improvement. By providing a centralised, user-friendly platform, employees across our UK and European operations can quickly and easily log incidents, near-misses, and hazards, removing barriers to reporting and ensuring that no safety concerns go unnoticed. The automated notification system ensures that relevant stakeholders are immediately alerted, enabling timely investigations and corrective actions.

Real-time Responsiveness

This real-time responsiveness not only addresses immediate risks but also demonstrates to employees that their concerns are taken seriously, reinforcing trust and encouraging proactive participation in safety initiatives. My Compliance tracks each incident through its lifecycle, from reporting to resolution, assigning responsibilities and setting deadlines for corrective and preventive measures. This structured approach ensures accountability and minimises the risk of recurrence. Moreover, the system's ability to generate detailed incident logs and trends analysis allows The Joloda Hydraroll Group to identify patterns, root causes, and emerging risks, enabling data-driven decisions for improving safety protocols and training programs.

Safety-first Mindset

By prioritising incident reporting and follow-up through My Compliance, The Joloda Hydraroll Group cultivates a safety-first mindset, empowering employees to actively contribute to a safer workplace and embedding safety as a core element within everything we do. This continuous feedback loop drives improvement, reduces workplace incidents, and strengthens the overall safety culture.
