Coronavirus Health and Safety Guidance
Given the concerns about coronavirus (COVID-19) we encourage you to familiarise yourself with our latest advice.
Safety Guidelines - Street Asset or Car Park
We want to ensure that all our team and our Shepherds are working safely. We want to ensure that everyone has the means to do their job without damaging themselves or others and we want to ensure people are encouraged and empowered to make the right decisions.
We expect people to make good decisions about their own work and their own health and safety. If risks are uncertain, or not covered by a process or procedure, then we expect you to stop work and consult the Shepper support on the best way to approach the job. If you have any questions or concerns, speak up or ask!
Shepper does not discriminate on the basis of physical ability. If there are any circumstances which may stop you from following these guidelines, please let us know before you arrive at the asset and our Support team will advise on how best to complete a task if necessary.

Never use your phone whilst driving.
Don’t take photos from the middle of the road if trying to capture anything facing the road. Please make sure you are safely in a pedestrian area.
Always remove headphones when completing a check.
