GENERAL STATEMENT OF POLICY
Our
policy is to provide adequate control of the health and safety risks
arising from our work activities, and maintain safe and healthy working
conditions, plant and equipment, and systems of work for all our
employees. We will provide such information, instruction and supervision
as they need for this purpose. We also accept our responsibility for the
health and safety of others who may be affected by our activities.
We will consult with all our employees on any matters that may affect
their health and safety; and also ensure that they are competent to carry
out their tasks by providing them with adequate training as is necessary
for this purpose.
We will ensure the safe transport, handling, use and storage of all
substances; safe access and egress to and from the premises; and take
necessary steps to prevent accidents and cases of work related ill
health.
We will ensure that sufficient and adequate resources are allocated to
all employees in order that they are able to discharge their duties
competently, thereby ensuring the health and safety of all other
employees and others who may be affected by their activities, as well as
ensuring compliance with all UK and European health, safety and
environmental statutory provisions, approved codes of practice, and other
standards affecting the company’s activities.
Environmental awareness has never been higher and every organisation as
well as every individual has a responsibility to contribute to protecting
their surroundings. QG Architectural Aluminium Specialists implements a
combined Health, Safety and Environment Management System, to improve our
efficiency through energy conservation and waste minimisation.
The allocation of duties for health, safety and environmental matters and
the particular arrangements which we will make to implement the policy
are set out herein.
The policy will be kept up to date, particularly as the organisation
changes in nature and size and as new technology and processes are
introduced. To ensure this, the policy and the way in which it has
operated will be reviewed and if necessary revised at least annually.
