OUR PEOPLE

The South African construction industry is a labour-intensive work environment.  YN Construction cannot operate without the skill and loyalty of its workforce, many people of which have been with the company since its inception.  YN Construction’s commitment to empowerment encourages the development of staff such that over the years a more diverse range of skills are the ambit of all employees.  An increasing number of black employees take up management roles in health and safety, site operation and introductory quantity surveying with related training and on-site experience included.

 

HEALTH AND SAFETY

At YN Construction we are committed to the health and safety of our employees and the relevant operating areas above all else.  This commitment is central to everything we do.  Our proactive approach creates value for our clients and safeguards our most important asset – our employees.  Our entire team is dedicated to maintaining a safety-focused and environmentally sound business.  Our safety culture is promoted by each member of our team through planning, implementing and evaluating safety practices on a daily basis.

Our safety programme is action orientated, everyone from management to trades people are involved in making a zero incident work place a reality.  We use daily pre-task planning sessions, ongoing safety inspections, weekly safety meetings, safety seminars, special equipment training, safety manual reviews and email updates to assist in attaining our goal of zero incidents and the long-term health and safety of all personnel.
