Health and Safety Policy
Health and Safety Policy Statement
This statement of intent should be read in conjunction with the full Health and Safety Policy which details the arrangements and responsibilities of our Occupational Health and Safety Management System.
It is our aim to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of our employees and third parties who may be affected by our work activities. We are committed to:
- Complying with all legal and other applicable requirements
- The prevention of injury and ill health, and
- Continually improving our occupational health and safety management and performance.
Progress towards these objectives will be monitored and subject to periodic review by management.
The Senior Management Team leads by example and supports a positive health and safety culture where everyone meets their responsibilities for the safety and health of themselves and others. The Director Responsible for Safety has ultimate responsibility for health and safety.
Nominated employees have been assigned duties as Health and Safety Co-ordinators and specific responsibilities for health and safety matters have been assigned to line managers.
Communication between all levels of employees within the Company is paramount. We will ensure that all employees have the knowledge and competence they need to meet their individual and collective responsibilities. All our employees will be given adequate supervision, information, instruction and training as is necessary to carry out their duties on behalf of the company.
We will identify significant hazards and plan for their elimination, reduction and control by conducting risk assessments at regular intervals, the results of which will be communicated to our employees.
We will ensure that the resources necessary to achieve the objectives of this policy are made available.
An annual review of this policy and associated procedures will be carried out to ensure their continued effectiveness and where necessary amended. Any amendments will be brought to the attention of all persons that need to know. The full Health and Safety Policy is available on request to interested parties.
This policy will be reviewed as required and at least annually by the group or individual responsible for review and authorised by the Trustees as below:
