We are very proud to announce that we have been accredited with the new ISO 45003 - Psychological health & Safety At Work

The new ISO Standard has been developed by the International Organisation of Standardisation so that organisations can identify the conditions, circumstances and workplace demands that may have the potential to impair the psychological health and wellbeing of team members. It gives guidelines on how to manage Occupational Health and Safety Management and Psychological Health Risks in the Workplace.

Jones FM is leading the way as we are one of the first companies to obtain the accreditation, we are developing and evolving our procedures.

The system in place will have contact details on site for current mental first aiders, team will be able to contact the mental first aiders if they feel they need assistance or want to talk. If a team member notices a change in behaviour of any of their colleagues they can also contact and share their concerns.

We now have three Mental Health First Aiders within the Jones FM team - Joe Watmough, Whitney Kiely and Matthew Parker with many more due to complete the training in coming weeks.

Mark Gumbley (EHS & Quality Manager) said:

"With Health & Safety we look at hazards and how to control them to protect from physical injury. With the ISO 45003 we will look for hazards and controls to protect perhaps the most fragile part of us, our mind!"
