Ainscough Crane Hire has long been recognised as one of the construction industry's pioneers in the fields of health, safety, environment and training. Utilising this firm foundation, the company has implemented a radical approach to every aspect of health, safety, environment and training management policies.

We believe this programme has made Ainscough the undoubted leader in this important aspect of crane hire in the UK. The company is continually striving to safeguard the health and safety of every individual who is either directly or indirectly involved with our crane hire and contract lift activities.

The Company motto of ‘Safety before Profit’ is more than just words: Ainscough is committed to ensuring that this motto is reflected in the mindset and the actions of every employee. Health and safety is everyone's business, and every one of our employees has a responsibility to protect their own safety and the safety of their colleagues.

Ainscough's aim is to make its health and safety policy and practices both interesting and accessible to all. The message is ongoing; cards, posters and the safety booklet “Safety Net” are issued on a regular basis in order to reinforce and emphasise the importance of health and safety issues. All employees are also issued with a wealth of safety documentation, including an Employee Guide to Health and Safety, a SHE/ Risk Assessment Handbook and an Employee Guide to Accident and Loss Reporting. Stringent safety and quality audits are carried out in all areas of the company, including cranes and lifting equipment, to ensure that they are maintained to the highest of standards at all times.

Safety is paramount to the running of any successful business, especially in the light of changing legislation and the introduction of corporate manslaughter laws. We owe it to our employees, our customers and the general public to get it right first time, every time.
