General
Safety Policy Statement
DIRECTOR
RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY – TERRY FOX, MANAGING DIRECTOR.
- The
Prevention of all accidents involving personal injury or
property damage is essential to the efficient operation
of Felton Construction Ltd.
- It
is the policy of the Company that its operations and activities
are executed at all times in such a way as to ensure, so
far as reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare
of all its employees and all persons likely to be affected
by its operations, including sub-contractors, visitors and
the general public where appropriate.
- In
this policy the term ‘safety’ is defined to
mean: -
a) The
prevention of all injuries
b) The promotion of occupational health and hygiene
c) The control of all situations likely to cause damages
to property and equipment.
- The
above named Managing Director is responsible for the company
health & safety policy including the co-ordination and
monitoring of the policy, and for effective safety communications
within the company.
- In
addition, the company employs a full time safety officer,
whose responsibilities are set down in section 2.
- The
Director Responsible for Safety will review this Policy
annually or more frequently if changes in work practices
or legislation require it, and recommend updates and modifications
to the Board of Directors when necessary.
- The
prime responsibility for safe operation and a safe place
of work rests clearly upon all sectors of management and
the Company will ensure that this policy is pursued with
diligence.
- The
Managing Director will ensure the adoption and maintenance
of proper standards of safety, health and welfare in all
areas of Company activity, sufficient to meet the requirements
of this Safety Policy and the Company’s (and employee’s)
legal and moral obligations, and will provide adequate resources,
both financial and otherwise to meet these responsibilities.
- The
Board of Directors believes that every employee has a responsibility
for ‘safety’ and would point out to employees
that there is provision under the terms of the Health and
Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, when a breach of the Act has
been committed, for criminal proceedings to be taken by
the enforcement officer against an ‘individual’
in addition to the Company concerned and, in some circumstances,
instead of the Company. The ‘individual’ may
be a Director, a Company Secretary, any person in a supervisory
position having responsibility for others or an operative
who has deliberately disregarded detailed instructions.
- The
penalties that can be imposed are the same for both the
Company and an individual and may result in heavy fines
or imprisonment for serious offences.
- It
is therefore incumbent on all employees to take reasonable
care for their own safety and the safety of any others who
may be affected by their acts or omissions and also to co-operate
with the Company in its arrangements to perform or comply
with statutory safety obligations which includes adherence
to the Company Safety Policy, the Health and Safety at Work
Act 1974, and all other statutory safety legislation.
- This
Policy Document and the Provisions contained herein shall
be brought to the attention of all employees.
