The Quality and Health, Safety and the Environment policy is an ongoing process. That is why DDM is continuously working on improving all these areas to keep improving safety levels.
Assurance for this process is guaranteed by certificates in the following areas: Quality via the ISO 9001 certificate, Environment via the ISO 14001 certificate, Safety via the VCA Petrochemicals certificate, Safe and Environmentally Aware Demolition via the SVMS-007 certificate, Asbestos via the SCA process scheme for asbestos removal and BELAC for working with asbestos in Belgium.
Going to work properly trained and well prepared is crucial for running a project safely. DDM makes sure that all its staff have been given the right instruction and have the right certificates, registrations and diplomas. DDM also regularly organises days on which all supervisors and all operational staff discuss safety, policy and the overall vision together.
This is all about coordination and achieving the same result and goals: working safely, getting home healthy and customer satisfaction are the key. Before a project, the various options are discussed with the client so that the work can be performed safely.
To minimise the environmental impact, DDM always separates, records and processes waste materials at authorised final processors. DDM also keeps investing in environmentally friendly measures. Among other things, this includes acquiring more economical and environmentally friendly equipment. There’s a good reason why DDM’s motto is Safety First!
