Life saving rules - Keeping you safe
Health & Safety is critical at Cornerstone. We want to ensure that you, our contractors, and the public are always safe. Our Operational Compliance and Governance Team constantly review and enhance procedures and processes to ensure we remain compliant and adhere to all health and safety policies. To help improve this, we launched our new life saving rules – SALUS (The Goddess of Health & Welfare).
Our nine life saving rules have been developed to enable people to access our sites safely. Whether that’s at ground level or performing high-risk activities, these rules not only create a common safety culture, but also demonstrate Cornerstone’s values.
We want to assure our landlord community that our contractors adhere to high safety standards through our active approach.
Our contractors must always follow these rules:
Working with or near electricity
You must have a written demonstrable competency. No LIVE working!
Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
Never enter the Cornerstone estate under the influence of illegal drugs or alcohol.
Working at height
You must always wear fall protection equipment, where a fall from height is foreseeable!
Lifting Operations
You must have a written plan for lifting objects, with relevant competence at all stages, protecting those impacted or involved.
Driving safely
You must be competent, familiar, skilled and knowledgeable, and your vehicle must be in good serviceable condition.
Health Exposures
You must understand the Health Exposures, including Radio Frequency Hazards at site level and ensure these are controlled.
Site Placement & Design Governance
Risks must be controlled at the source. Demonstrable control must be in place from work planning and for the site’s life cycle.
Access & Work Planning Arrangements
Access arrangements must be followed and activities suitably assessed for the risk every time!
Mental Health & Wellbeing
Seek support if you are experiencing any symptoms of ill health or you’re concerned by someone’s actions.
By following these life saving rules, we sustain a common safety culture for all who access the Cornerstone estate.
