Steve Wilson Decorators believes that one of its most
important functions is the prevention of accidents
and ill health. We do not wish any of our employees
or any other person to suffer as the result of
activities or work processes. To this end, we intend
to comply rigorously with all health and safety
legislations, Codes of Practice and best guidance
and work methods available.
The health and
safety policy and manuals we have prepared indicate
the ways in which
Steve Wilson Decorators
intends to meet with legal requirements.
Legislation
requires that, as an employer, we prepare a
statement of general policy with respect to the
health and safety of our employees, together with
details of the organisation and arrangements that we
have set up to carry out that policy.
Therefore, we
provide, so far as is reasonably practicable:
-
a safe system
of work
-
safe plant
and equipment
-
safe means of
handling, transporting articles, substances and
people
-
adequate
training, instruction information and
supervision
-
a safe place
of work with safe access and egress
-
a safe and
health environment
-
adequate
welfare facilities.
We also ensure,
so far as is reasonably practicable, that the way we
carry out our work does not affect the health and
safety of persons who are not employees, for
example, visitors and contractors.
It is also
recognised that where we produce articles and
substances for use at work, or we erect or install
any plant or equipment, we have a duty to ensure the
health and safety of those who use them and make
available all the required information for their
health and safety.
We remind you,
our employees, of your duty to look after your own
health and safety and ensure that you do not
endanger others and that you must co-operate with
us, as your employer, in meeting our legal
obligations. |
