Between the Executive Board, we have over 80 years of commercial, design and construction experience. Our values come from our work ethic and what is important to us.
We seek out new ways of doing things to drive continuous improvement.
We treat everyone equally.
We deliver on our promises.
We work hard for success.
We innovate to create value-led outcomes.
Taking our business to greater heights.
Delivering on Excellence is our core business strategy designed to benefit all. It ensures that we deliver value-led solutions and excellence in the decisions we make and the services we provide to our customers. We do this by promoting a positive motivated internal culture.
SAFETY FIRST is a groundbreaking safety initiative that is more than just a policy. It is an ethical code intertwined into everything that we do.
We take a proactive approach and have a set of codes which form the base of our health and safety culture.
Everyone deserves to be safe.
Hazards can be mitigated and accidents can be prevented.
Zero Tolerance for unsafe actions, attitude and behaviours.
Staying alert and looking out for each other.
We expect all our colleagues, partners and customers to commit to our SAFETY FIRST culture or adhere to similar principles. As part of our Corporate Governance, we expect our directors to delivery our strategic aims by driving safety in all our operations. We expect all our employees in a leadership role to enforce this code to be compliant with legal duties and customer expectations. We work to ISO 45001, OSHAS 18001, and train staff in accordance with this policy enabling full compliance.
We understand that collecting and analysing data is key in making better decisions. We do this in many ways, before construction by digital construction processes and during construction by planned and unplanned site visits where our health and safety managers record details by inspection and then advise appropriately. Also, we empower our partners to do the same so that monitoring is optimised and the responsibility is shared between all.
We use this information to innovate, update our methodologies and to regularly review our management procedures to optimise safety performance.
Site inductions are the primary contact we have with operatives entering our sites. As part of the SAFETY FIRST approach, we have streamlined the induction process by creating an online portal that is designed to empower people to make the right choices onsite. By utilising technology, we have created an innovative method that assigns every operative a unique number and profile which registers site visitors enabling us to extract analytics in how are sites are used.
We want everyone at Steel Homes and our partners to perceive safety in the same way. Our analysis illustrates that the only way a true safety culture can be adopted is if everyone subscribes to it, SAFETY FIRST reinforces this as it presents safety as a relatable concept to all..
“All our decisions impact society, that’s why making responsible decisions is important to us. Our sustainability policy allows us to make these impacts positive.”

This statement is made under the Modern Slavery Act 2015. Although not required by the act, STEEL HOMES makes this statement on our accord. Although STEEL HOMES operates in the UK only, there is still a business risk of facing human trafficking, forced labour and other forms of modern slavery. This statement addresses the policies and practices with all of STEELHOMES’s business operations.
At STEELHOMES we are committed to doing the right thing in everything that we do. Our policies are for us and our supply-chain partners, and we will not engage in business with anyone who violates these laws. We actively seek to work with partners who think like us by ensuring that our procurement processes and due diligence align with our policies.
Our requirement for all our employees is that they take modern slavery training regularly, which is mandatory, and that they know how to deal with such events if they were to arise. We take this very seriously and encourage compliance. STEELHOMES will not tolerate violation of this policy.
