Compliance & Safety at DB Services

Planning for Safety on Every Site

Safety and environmental responsibility sit at the heart of our work. Every project—cleaning, grounds, painting/coatings or trauma/biohazard—runs to documented RAMS, with the right PPE, trained technicians/specialists, and controls aligned to HSE/COSHH guidance. We plan safe access, manage risks on live sites, and remove waste lawfully as a Registered Waste Carrier.

At a glance

RAMS for every job (risk assessment & method statement agreed before work).
PPE at Work (2022) compliant — correct PPE provided, used and supervised.
COSHH controls in place when substances are involved (assessments, controls and monitoring).
Biohazard work aligned with UK regulations for working with biological agents.
Registered Waste Carrier — lawful transport and disposal with paperwork available.

How We Work Safely

Pre-site planning

We confirm the scope, environment and access, then prepare RAMS so everyone knows the plan and controls.

On-site briefing & set-up

Technicians review RAMS, put out signage/barriers, and check PPE and equipment before work starts.

Controlled delivery

Tasks are carried out to method statements with the right controls (COSHH where required) and tidy-as-we-go standards.

Waste handling & paperwork

Waste is segregated and removed via our Registered Waste Carrier routes; disposal paperwork is available on request.

Final checks & handover

We inspect the area, remove protection/signage, and provide a clear handover (and photos if requested).

🦺PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

We provide and supervise the correct PPE for each task (e.g., gloves, eye/face protection, hearing protection, respirators where needed) in line with PPE at Work (2022). PPE is checked, used and maintained properly, and replaced when required.

⚗️COSHH (Substances & Safe Use)

When substances are involved (e.g., paints, coatings, cleaning agents or disinfectants), we complete COSHH assessments, choose safer options where possible, and put in place the right controls (ventilation, containment, PPE, training and supervision). Safety Data Sheets are available on request.

♻️Waste & Environmental Responsibility

DBS is a Registered Waste Carrier. We package, label and transport waste lawfully and provide disposal notes on request. Our aim is to minimise waste, prevent spills and leave every site clean and compliant.

🎓Training & Competence

Work is delivered by DBS-trained technicians and specialists. Competence includes task-specific training, toolbox talks, and refreshers. For riskier work (e.g., working at height), we use the correct access equipment and permits with documented checks.

☣️Biohazard Work

Where trauma/biohazard risks exist, we use enhanced controls aligned with UK guidance for working with biological agents, including area isolation, disinfection protocols and lawful waste routes.
