group health & safety policy statement

The management and personnel of this company fully accept that it has a responsibility for ensuring that health and safety at work is maintained at a high level and to approach the management of working practices in a way that promotes safety in all aspects of our business.

We are committed to identifying, assessing and controlling risks that have been evaluated and monitor the measures and safeguards, introduced to counter any risks identified. This will be achieved through the process of risk assessment, which applies to any nature of risk, from chemical hazards to work activities, from power sources to harmful emissions.

In controlling risks and introducing safeguards, we will prioritise the significant risks as major areas of activity expending such resources as are warranted by the nature of the risk to eliminate, or at least effectively control that risk at source.

We further recognise our responsibility to ensure that welfare facilities are such that health is not adversely affected, that we maintain all areas of work in a suitable condition for the tasks to be performed within them and that all emergency situations are properly catered for and have sufficient resource to ensure effective protection of our workforce.

To achieve these goals, we fully recognise the invaluable resource of our people and are committed to training and developing them in line with our overall policy and specific work activities, using their input as a valuable source of hazard identification and risk control. In this way each and every individual has a vital and specific role in maintaining our safety standard.
