Company Policy 

It is the policy of the Company to provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions, equipment and systems of work for all our employees, and to provide such information and training as they need for this purpose.

The Company accepts its responsibility for health and safety of other persons who may be affected by the Company’s activities.

Following the identification of work related risks and hazards, the Company will take preventative and protective measures. It is also the policy of the Company to ensure that its business is conducted in a manner so as to reduce the risks to members of the public. The Company may require you to attend such training and/or induction programmes in order to meet the aims of the Company.

The allocation of duties for safety matters, the identity of competent persons appointed with particular responsibilities, and the arrangements made to implement this policy are set out in this policy and in associated health and safety records.

This policy will be kept up to date, to reflect changes in the nature and size of the Company. To ensure this, the policy and its effectiveness will be reviewed annually.

It is the duty of management to:

· provide and maintain systems of work that are safe and without risk to health;

· ensure safety and the absence of risks to health in connection with handling of equipment, storage and transport;

· provide information, instruction, training and supervision;

· maintain all places of work in a safe condition;

· adhering to the Company procedures for securing a safe workplace. Individuals will be nominated to undertake health and safety duties as required.

· reporting incidents that have led to injury or damage;

All such incidents must be recorded and reported to Laurence Mills using the internal report form, which is available from 2 Capricorn Centre, Cranes Farm Road, Basildon, Essex, SS14 3JJ. Any failure to adhere to this policy and the procedures set out in it will be considered a serious disciplinary offence and is one which may lead to dismissal
