| COMPANY SAFETY POLICY
Health and Safety Acts requires every Employer to prepare a written Safety Policy Statement and to bring this to the notice of all its Employees. It is the policy of this Company to provide the safest and healthiest working conditions possible, and enlists the support of its Employees towards achieving these aims. All Employees in service of the Company are responsible, within their own sphere of operation, to apply the provisions of this Policy to themselves, to visitors to the Site and the General Public. The person responsible for safety matters is Mr D Tipping. New Operatives learn, observe and take all sensible safety precautions. All Operatives are informed and instructed when necessary, as to the safest methods of carrying out their tasks. Those who constantly fail to consider their own well-being and that of others, are disciplined. Operatives must at all times realise that they have a legal duty while at work, to take reasonable care for Health and Safety of themselves and others. Operatives must co-operate with their Supervisors in all matters relating to their safety, health and welfare and must develop a personal concern for accident prevention. Operatives should always use equipment provided in the manner prescribed for safe working. Operatives must never use defective equipment and report such defects to their Supervisor. Operatives must keep their working area safe free from hazards. Operatives must never interfere with, or, misuse anything provided in the interest of Health and Safety. Operatives must never take risks or leave situations which may be dangerous to others.
Operatives should make themselves aware of the specified means of escape in the event of fire, and familiarise themselves with the location and operation of fire extinguishers.
Any Operative becoming ill or receiving an injury must report this to their Supervisor. Also any hazards or dangerous events, whether they involve injury or not, must still be reported.
