Leaderflush Shapland recognises that working conditions,
which are safe and promote good health are vital to achieving
business excellence. We therefore aim to conduct our business in
a way that presents minimum risk of injury or ill health to our
colleagues, suppliers, visitors or customers so far as
reasonably practicable, and gives rise to no damage to our
plant, equipment, materials or any other property as a result of
accidents, fires or dangerous occurrences.
This is a process of continuous improvement which relies
primarily on the systematic identification, assessment and
control of hazards and risks, underpinned by awareness of
relevant legislation, other requirements and best practice.
Additionally the Company via its subscription to OHSAS 18001:
2007 will set yearly objectives, and measure their achievements
through regular inspections, audits and the thorough
investigation of accidents and incidents.
To this end, the Company will: -
- As a minimum comply with all relevant statutory legislation,
and always look towards best practice.
- Provide a working environment that presents a minimal risk
to health.
- Ensure all plant and equipment is proactively maintained to
ensure its safe use.
- Take all reasonable steps to prevent accident, illness or
injury.
- Provide safety equipment and personal protective equipment
when necessary and enforce its use.
- Have a formal Management System that continues to meet the
requirements of the OHSAS 18001: 2007 Standard.
We recognises that it is essential to encourage a proactive
safety and health culture by establishing a partnership for
prevention between the organisation, our colleagues, suppliers
and customers, ensuring active participation in health and
safety issues through discussion & open communication.
Senior Managers and Supervisors will give a positive lead in
health and safety matters; however, everyone within the
organisation is required to co-operate with each other to enable
objectives to be met.
It’s everyone responsibility to ensure they personally
are fully aware of their responsibilities with regards to
matters of health and safety, and appreciate that full
co-operation is essential.
It should be clearly understood that health and safety is
extremely important to us and forms a vital corner stone to the
Company’s continued growth and success.
The organisation and arrangements for implementing this policy
are set out in the Health and Safety Management System Manual,
available via the intranet and on request.
This policy shall be reviewed annually for continued adequacy.
