CWM Health and Safety
Policy Statement
The following statement is issued in accordance with the requirements of Section 2(3) of the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. It is the policy of the company to ensure so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of its employees and all others who may be affected by its activities.
The company aims to conduct its operations in a manner that always gives priority to health, safety and environmental issues, and commits to the compliance with current health, safety and environmental legislation. Our objective is to continually improve health, safety and environmental performance.
Directors are responsible for providing health and safety leadership. Positive health and safety performance is encouraged and management must ensure that health and safety considerations are given priority in the planning and execution of operations. To assist them, the company has appointed a qualified health and safety adviser to advise on requirements of the relevant statutory provisions, and health, safety and welfare matters generally.
Employees should not carry out any task that will place themselves or others at risk of harm. Suggestions to improve health, safety and welfare within the company are encouraged and welcomed from employees for consideration and implementation as far as is reasonably practicable.
The company accepts that everyone is entitled to a safe and healthy place in which to work and its success requires the full support of every employee. All employees have a legal responsibility in respect of their own safety; that of their work colleagues and also to co-operate with their employer on safety matters. All employees are therefore expected:-
· To carry out their work functions in a safe manner.
· Encourage and support safe working practices implemented by the company at all times.
· Report any unsafe conditions that may come to their attention.
We as a company will also ensure that:-
· There are effective procedures developed for all matters relating to health, safety and welfare.
· The health and safety policy will be reviewed annually, amended and updated as necessary and any such changes will be communicated to all employees.
At CWM Environmental Ltd, there will be no compromise on safety.
