We are in a unique position as a company, in that we can deploy our own Mobile Health Screening Trailer to projects, giving us the ability to carry out health screening and surveillance of not only our own people but of everybody working on a project. This is an exceptional tool that has given us the capability to raise awareness of (and to help improve) the health and wellbeing of our workers throughout the duration of a project and we can work alongside our clients to monitor and record health and wellbeing biometric targets that are set for the project such as reducing weight, blood pressure and ultimately conditions such as diabetes.

We take our Environmental commitments seriously and our Environmental Policy and supporting procedures that sit within our Environmental Management System (EMS) have been ISO 14001 certified since 2017. Something we resolutely achieved for all of our staff during the COVID-19 Pandemic by Risk Assessment and adhering to the ever changing Government and Industry guidance as it evolved, allowing our critical workforce to safely remain at work.We also have our Carbon Management strategy and procedure, with company KPI’s, in line with PAS 2080, in order to effectively capture the data required to help us achieve our goal of reducing our carbon emissions and creating a sustainable future for our business and the environment.

Everything we do at Hercules is backed by our robust, ISO certified Quality Management System and the policies and procedures contained within. We take pride in working to the highest of standards and understand that only by seeking continual improvement can we achieve our company mission to be a world class service provider. To meet our own high standards and those of our clients and the construction industry we undertake regular reviews of all our processes and procedures and work collaboratively throughout our organisation to ensure that we are following best practice or finding new, innovative ways to improve standards.
