Our company believes that excellence in the management of health and safety
is an essential element within its overall business plan – a good health and
safety record goes hand in hand with high productivity and quality standards.
People are the most important asset to this company, and therefore we are
totally committed to ensuring their health, safety and welfare at all times.
From an economic point of view, the company believes that prevention is not only
better, but also cheaper than cure. There is no necessary conflict between
humanitarian and commercial consideration. Profits and safety are not in
competition. On the contrary, safety is good business.
The company is committed to ensuring that it complies with all relevant
health and safety legislation. Where it is reasonably practicable to do so, the
company will strive to go beyond the requirements of legislation.
The company is committed to ongoing monitoring and review processes, so that
continual improvement in the management of health and safety can be achieved.
Our general intentions are:
- To provide adequate control of the Health and Safety risks arising from
our work activities;
- To consult with our employees on matters affecting their Health &
Safety;
- To provide and maintain safe plant and equipment
- To ensure safe handling and use of substances;
- To provide information, instruction and supervision for employees;
- To ensure all employees are competent to do their tasks, and to give
them adequate training;
- To prevent accidents and cases of work related ill health;
- To maintain safe and healthy working conditions; and
- To review and revise this policy at regular intervals.
