At Shield Services Group, safety isn’t a tick-box exercise, it’s our way of thinking, working, and leading. Across every Shield division – Asbestos, Marine, Scaffolding, Mechanical & Electrical, Facilities, Fire Security & Passive Protection, and Insulation, health and safety is the foundation of everything we do.

Our commitment goes beyond compliance. Recognised through our ISO 45001 certification, industry awards and accreditations, we’ve built a culture where every individual has the knowledge, training, and authority to make the right decisions for the right reasons, every time.

What does that look like in practice? It means our scaffolding teams working at height with absolute confidence in their training and equipment. It’s our asbestos specialists ensuring hazardous materials are removed with precision and care. It’s our fire security and passive protection experts designing systems that safeguard people and property. Whatever the project, the same principle applies: safety first, safety always.

To further strengthen this culture, Shield Services Group has recently moved into its new head office in Hanham, Bristol. This purpose-built facility has been designed to streamline operations and enhance collaboration across all divisions. By centralising key teams and resources, the new headquarters enables faster decision-making, more consistent standards, and a workplace environment that promotes both productivity and well-being. It’s a hub for innovation and excellence, reflecting our commitment to our people and our clients, and ensuring that health and safety remains at the very heart of our growth journey.

With one of the industry’s largest and most experienced SHEQ teams and a training department delivering courses above and beyond industry standards, we continue to challenge the status quo. At Shield, health and safety isn’t a department, it’s a mindset. Simply put: we don’t just work safely. We think safely. Always.
