The Company recognises the importance of safety, health and welfare in the successful operation of its activities, and believes in the active participation and co-operation of its employees and subcontractors in order to achieve and maintain acceptable standards.
The activities of the Company will be conducted in accordance with the relevant statutory requirements and by implementing appropriate safeguards to prevent exposing employees and the general public to risks to their health and safety. This policy will be actively pursued by the Health and Safety Director.
The requirements of The Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, the Construction Health, Safety and Welfare Regulations 1996 and the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 shall be regarded as the minimum standard of safety, health and welfare accepted.
The Company recognises the need to consult with its workforce on health and safety matters in order to achieve policies which are both safe and acceptable when put into practice. It welcomes suggestions from its employees or subcontractors which serve to improve and promote these aims. Such suggestions may at any time be brought to the attention of the Company Management.
Whilst overall responsibility for health and safety matters must rest at the highest level within the Company, employees and subcontractors should recognise that they too have duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. These duties include the taking of reasonable care of their own safety and the safety of others who may be affected by their acts or omissions and also to co-operate with the Company in its arrangements to comply with statutory safety obligations.
This policy will be kept up to date. To ensure this, the policy and the way in which it is implemented, will be reviewed on an annual basis. Any revision will be brought to the attention of those affected by the changes.
