HEALTH, SAFETY AND WELFARE GENERAL STATEMENT
6. All matters concerning health and safety will be implemented only after full consultation with employees. The employees have the right to nominate safety representatives, under the Safety Representatives and Safety Committee Regulations, and request the organisation of a safety committee. S.G.W. Construction (Redcar) Ltd also recognises that there is requirements to consult with employees under provisions of The Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, Health and Safety (Consultation with Employees) Regulations and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations and will therefore encourage full employee participation in all matters relating to health and safety. Employees will be afforded every opportunity to discuss health and safety issues with a senior management representative, or with the visiting safety adviser should the employee choose to do so.
7. The company will ensure that all relevant safety and health training will be undertaken and that all the necessary information required to do a job safely will be forwarded to the appropriate parties. The directors will ensure that sufficient resources are available to meet all reasonable health and safety requirements.
8. It is the function of management to provide all the necessary requirements in order to carry out work in a safe manner. However, no safety policy can function properly without the support and co-operation of all its employees. Therefore, the company reminds its employees that they have a legal duty not only to work in a safe manner, but also to co-operate in efforts to create safe and healthy working conditions.
9. Our own health and safety advisor will advise and assist the company in implementing procedures to meet its statutory obligations and the objectives set out in this policy. Northern Counties Safety Group Limited has been retained as our secondary and supplementary advisory service for Health and Safety.
