Cumnor Construction Ltd. has a dedicated Quality & Safety Department consisting of a Quality and Safety Manager and three Site Safety Officers who are experienced, trained, and competent to carry out their duties under the relevant Health and Safety Act.

The culture generated through adherence to these procedures ensures that the ensuing safety ethos does not allow for any compromise on safety and that each individual employee understands the part they play in their own safety and the safety of their co-workers.
