In pursuance of this policy, senior management recognise that there is a need to conduct the business in a manner that is in line with current legislation and codes of practice and will ensure that appropriate arrangements are in place to comply with legislative duties.
The responsibility for safety at work rests upon all sectors of management and the organisation will ensure that this policy is pursued throughout the Company. The organisation will take all reasonably practicable steps to ensure the health, safety and welfare of its employees, and any others who may be affected by its work activities, by providing the following:
-
A safe working environment through the design, construction, operation and maintenance of all plant, equipment and facilities.
-
Safe systems of work.
-
Adequate instruction, information, training and supervision.
-
Control of all situations likely to cause damage to personnel, property and equipment.
-
Effective facilities for consultation between management and employee representatives.
-
The undertaking of such tests, examinations, samples and records as are necessary to monitor the working environment.
Equally, it is the duty of each and every employee to assist the organisation in the attainment of its Health and Safety objectives. The organisation expects employees to take reasonable care of their own safety and that of others who may be affected by their actions.
Overall responsibility for the health, safety and welfare of the organisation and its personnel is vested in the Managing Director and also the Director for Safety.
Management will give full support to all those who endeavour to carry out this policy and will strive to continually improve the health and safety performance of the business.
