Supporting Our Workforce: Health & Safety for Contractors and Employees

20th May 2025

Health and safety in recruitment

At Advance TRS, we put people first. Whether you’re a contractor on-site or part of our internal team, your wellbeing is our top priority. We don’t just talk about safety—we build it into everything we do. As a leading recruitment consultancy in the built environment, we embed health and safety in recruitment across our culture, compliance processes, and client relationships.


Zero Workplace Incidents: A Clear Goal

We actively pursue a safety-first culture across all assignments. Our ambition is simple: zero workplace incidents. Contractors placed in technical sectors such as rail, water, construction, energy, and infrastructure benefit from a clear focus on proactive safety.

Before a placement begins, we collaborate with clients to review site-specific risks, procedures, and expectations. We also verify that every contractor has up-to-date qualifications, PPE, and certifications. As a result, our preventative approach not only safeguards individuals but also protects project performance—reducing risk, avoiding downtime, and enabling long-term workforce success.


Health and safety that Protects People

To maintain the highest standards, we align our safety practices with ISO 45001, the international benchmark for occupational health and safety. This ensures every assignment includes structured, compliance-driven processes that reduce hazards and raise awareness.

To strengthen risk management, we provide:

  • Verified right-to-work and qualification checks
  • Clear onboarding with safety-focused inductions
  • Ongoing coordination with client H&S teams

By embedding compliance into every stage of recruitment, we help clients meet legal requirements while ensuring safer workplaces for contractors.

Supporting the Wellbeing of Our Team

We don’t only protect those we place—we also support the people who power our business. Internally, we foster a culture where both physical and mental wellbeing are treated as essential. That’s why we’ve created a workplace that encourages health, flexibility, and open communication.

We provide:

  • Flexible working options to support work-life balance
  • Private health insurance for peace of mind
  • A supportive environment where all voices are heard

To further support our team, we deliver regular H&S training, mental health awareness sessions, and access to wellness resources—ensuring everyone can thrive safely and sustainably.
