It is the policy of the organisation that so far as is reasonably practicable, every possible step will be taken to ensure the Health and Safety at work of all employees, contractors and members of the public.

It has been clearly identified to all levels of management that their responsibilities in this area are no less than any other function, and it is their duty to do everything reasonably practicable to provide and maintain plant and equipment, systems of work, a workplace and working environment which are safe and without risk to health. There is a similar responsibility in so far as the use and transport of equipment and products are concerned.

Managers have been given the responsibility of ensuring that all information, instruction, training and supervision necessary to guarantee the health and safety at work of all employees, is provided. It is also the Company policy to provide appropriate safety training for all employees, and the necessary safety devices, and protective clothing to encourage the co-operation of all employees by discussion and consultation with them and their representatives with a view to promoting and developing measures to ensure safe systems of work, and to check the effectiveness of such measures.

Equally it is the duty of every employee to take every reasonable care for the health and safety of himself and his fellow workers or other persons who may be affected by his actions at work, and to co-operate with any other employee to enable statutory duties or requirements to be fulfilled. Whilst there is a statutory duty to comply with regulations and codes of practice this is regarded as a minimum requirement only, and it is the Company's policy to endeavour to secure the co-operation of all concerned to achieve higher standards in all aspects of health and safety at work.
