Health and safety critical in sign installations

The co-founder of CJ Retail Solutions, which is part of Langford Services Group, says working to current health and safety legislation is one of the most important areas of its work.

The company installs retail display and point-of-sale purchase fixtures for a range of clients from sectors such as electronics, health and beauty, tobacco, automotive, DIY, FMCG, and confectionary.

Chris Langford says: “We believe meticulous planning is vital to ensuring all health and safety specifications are adhered to. For us, the key lies in ensuring we have the most knowledgeable team around who are confident in making the right decisions. Our team can also advise businesses on health and safety requirements and how to ensure health and safety compliance.”

Langford highlights the Construction Design and Management Regulations, which were introduced in 2015, as key to its work.

He continues: “Again, to help improve health and safety in construction, we use careful planning to ensure the risks involved are managed from start to finish of each contract. We ensure we have the right people on the job at the right time throughout each stage of the project and consult and engage with each worker through the duration to make sure all risks are being managed.

“All our staff have CSCS accreditation, our lead men have SSSTS (Site Supervisor Safety Training Scheme) accreditation, and our project managers have undergone and gained accreditation for SMSTS (Site Managers Safety Training Scheme). As a result, all teams have the required training and qualifications they need to work on each project.”

Langford adds: “We have the expertise to deliver any kind of retail display installation from simple POP installations and POS siting, to hi-tech interactive displays involving premium electronics and security equipment. We have helped thousands of retail outlets including one-off flagships over the years.”
