Your security
Most jobs are done by our own work force but we do sometimes use sub-contractors particularly when we are very busy. Our workers wear a uniform and carry an identity card with their photograph on it. Sub-contractors should have some form of authorisation from Ocean Housing with them as well as identity cards.
