It is our aim to achieve a working environment, which is free of work related accidents and ill-health and to this end we will pursue continuing improvements from year to year. We undertake to discharge our statutory duties by:

• Providing and maintaining safe plant and work equipment.
  
  
• Establishing and enforcing safe methods of work.
  
  
• Recruiting and appointing personnel who have the skills, abilities and competence commensurate with their role and level of responsibility.



• Ensuring that tasks given to employees are within their skills, knowledge and ability to perform.
  
  
• Promoting awareness of health and safety and of good practice through the effective communication or relevant information.
  
  
• Furnishing sufficient funds needed to meet these objectives.

All employees on their part are encouraged to contribute actively towards achieving a work environment, which is free of accidents and ill-health.

Our health and safety policy will be reviewed annually to monitor its effectiveness and to ensure that it reflects changing needs and circumstances.

This policy is to be read in conjunction with the Organisation, Arrangements and applicable Safe Systems of Work (Available on request).
