Policies General Policy Statement
Employees are of paramount importance. Their safety and health
demands at least the same degree of attention and emphasis as that
placed on our mainstream activity which encompasses quality,
proficiency, efficiency and environmental awareness. We also
recognise our responsibilities for the health and safety of others
that may be affected by our activities. It is our aim to achieve a
working environment which is free of work related accidents and ill
health and to this end we will pursue continuing improvements from
year to year. We undertake to discharge our statutory duties by:
Identifying hazards in the work place, assessing the risks relating
to them and implementing appropriate preventative measures.
Establishing and enforcing safe methods of work recruiting and
appointing personnel who have the skills, abilities and competence
commensurate with their role and level of responsibility.
Ensuring that tasks given to employees are within their skills,
knowledge and ability to perform, ensuring that technical competence
is maintained through the provision of refresher training as
appropriate.
Promoting awareness of health and safety and of good practice
through the effective communication of relevant information.
Furnishing the resources needed to meet these objectives
All
employees on their part are encouraged to contribute actively
towards achieving a work environment, which is free of accidents and
ill health. Our health and safety policy will be reviewed
periodically to monitor the
effectiveness and to ensure that it reflects changes needs and
circumstances. |
