Company Health and Safety Policy Statement

In accordance with the provisions of the Health and Safety at Work Act the Company are committed to the health, safety and welfare at work of its employees. The company will also ensure that, as far as is reasonably practicable, persons not in its employment are not exposed to risks to their health and safety when they come into contact with the Company or the products it uses.

 In Particular the Company has a responsibility to:

• Provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions, taking into account current statutory requirements. 
• Provide training and instruction to enable employees to perform their work safely and efficiently.
• Provide and maintain safe plant and equipment and safe systems at work.
• Maintain a constant and continuing interest in health and safety matters applicable to the Company’s activities and for the management to set an example in safety behaviour.
• Consult with employees on health and safety arrangements.
• Provide risk assessments covering the Company’s work activities. 
• Provide COSHH assessments detailing the safe storage, handling and disposal of hazardous substances.

Whilst the Company accepts its prime responsibility for ensuring the health, safety and welfare for its employees, it is expected that all employees accept their responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act to:

• Take care of their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their acts or omissions.
• Co-operate with management to enable the Company to fulfil its legal obligations. 
• Not interfere with, or misuse anything provided in the interests of health, safety and welfare.

The Company is committed to a programme of continual improvement, and will provide the necessary resources to ensure the full implementation of the Policy and the Proprietor will give full backing to all those committed to achieving the policy objectives. This policy will be subject to an annual review or when process conditions change.
