1. Purpose
We want everyone who works for us, or alongside us, to go home unharmed. This policy sets out what we commit to, who is responsible and how we manage the risks in our work.
2. Our commitments
We will:
- prevent accidents and work-related ill health by managing the risks in our work
- give clear instruction, information and training so that everyone can work safely
- consult our employees on matters that affect their health and safety
- provide and maintain safe equipment, vehicles and premises
- store and use substances safely
- plan for emergencies, including fire and first aid
- review this policy at least once a year, and after any significant change
3. Responsibilities
| Who | Responsible for |
|---|---|
| Director | Overall and final responsibility for health and safety |
| Managers and supervisors | Putting this policy into practice day to day |
| Every employee | Working safely, following training and reporting concerns |
| Subcontractors | Working safely, to a risk assessment and method statement for the job |
4. Arrangements
| Area | What we do |
|---|---|
| Risk assessment | We assess the risks in our work, record the significant findings and review them when things change. |
| Work at height | We avoid it where we can. Where it is needed, the right equipment is used by people competent to use it. |
| Manual handling | We use handling aids where practical, and plan heavy or awkward lifts before they start. |
| Vehicles and deliveries | Deliveries are planned with the customer. Loading and unloading follow the carrier’s rules and the site’s rules. |
| Installation work | Installation is carried out by subcontractors chosen for their competence and insurance, working to a method statement for the job. |
| Customer sites | We follow the site’s own rules, inductions and permit systems, and stop work if conditions are unsafe. |
| Fire and emergencies | Our premises have a fire risk assessment, marked escape routes and an assembly point. |
| Accidents and first aid | First aid is available at our premises. Accidents and near misses are recorded, and reported to the HSE where the law requires. |
5. Review
We review this policy every twelve months, and sooner if our work, our premises or the law changes. The current version is the one published on our website.
