Jetting drains and sewers: further qualifications

Another week and another important accreditation for PMG Services staff.

Two of our specialist jetting operatives, Shaun McGinn and Steve Parsons, have successfully completed the Water Jetting Association’s Safety Awareness course and its Drain and Sewer Jetting course, accredited by City & Guilds. They each attended practical instruction including bespoke, hands-on training on the safe and effective use of equipment together with theoretical training in a lecture room environment. They also had refresher training on safe entry to, and exit from, confined spaces.

Hot on health and safety: now it’s official

Since joining the company in July last year I’ve been beavering away compiling the seemingly endless volumes of paperwork required to gain accreditation from Safecontractor for our excellence in health and safety.

It’s been a long old haul for something we already knew we were doing right, but now it seems worth all the effort as today we received confirmation that we’ve passed the exacting Safecontractor criteria for our capabilities and standards. Another certificate for the files!

The auditors examined how we avoid and manage risks, how well we train our drivers, operatives and other staff and they crawled over our paper trails to ensure every ‘i’ is dotted and every ‘t’ is crossed.

Swept away … we’ve expanded overnight!

Yesterday morning we had a fleet of 30 vehicles, including four specialist sweepers; by the evening we had welcomed a further five sweepers into our happy family.

It all started when we were approached some months ago by the owners of Roadmasters, a company offering road sweeping and cleaning services. Based at Signal Way in Swindon, Roadmasters was up for sale, allowing its ‘big sister’ company, Rockstone Surfacing, to concentrate on its core business.

PMG's road sweeper waste recycling plant gains the support from Environment Agency

Yesterday Environment Agency officials visited our recycling plant in St. Phillips, Bristol. The main purpose of the visit was to observe the new recycling plant in operation and inspect the facility.
The Environment Agency officials were pleased with the processing and stated that ' we support PMG's objective to reduce waste to landfill'

PMG are delighted with the support from the Environment Agency and thank them for the advice they have provided.
