Visual Standards

Welcome to the United Living site ‘Visual Standards’ manual

This manual is in place to achieve our safety aspirations it is more important than ever that we continually promote and challenge our standards and projects.

This manual will be your starting point to ensure you do this.

It sets out the minimum levels we expect to see on all United Living sites and offices, and by following these consistent standards we will improve the health, safety, environment and wellbeing of all who visit and work on our projects.

By achieving these, you are demonstrating your commitment to ensuring your project is a credit to the business, and that we are first choice for our customers.

They must be adhered to at all times, on all sites, where practicable and further information can be found on United Way. If, however, in the unlikely circumstance you feel they cannot be achieved, you must come to an agreement with your Regional Operations manager to re-evaluate how best to progress.

I am personally enthusiastic and proud of these standards taken from our projects, and I would like encourage you all to keep raising the bar and to thank you in advance for setting a new industry benchmark for all to follow.
