- Gemcliff believes that one of its most important
functions is the prevention of accidents and ill health. We do not
wish any of our employees or any other persons to suffer as a result
of our activities or work processes. To this end, we intent to comply
rigorously with all safety legislation, Codes of Practice and best
guidance and work methods available.
- The health and safety policy and manuals we have prepared indicate
the ways in which Gemcliff intends to meet with legal
requirements.
- Legislation requires that, as an employer, we prepare a statement
of general policy with respect to health and safety to our employees,
together with details of the organisation and arrangements that
we have set up to carry out that policy.
- Therefore, we provide, so far as is reasonably practicable:-
| a. |
a safe system of work |
| b. |
safe plant and equipment |
| c. |
safe means of handling and transporting articles, substances
and people |
| d. |
adequate training, instruction, information and supervision
|
| e. |
a safe place of work with safe access and egress |
| f. |
a safe and healthy environment |
| g. |
adequate welfare facilities |
- We also ensure, so far as is reasonable practicable, that the
way we carry out our work does not affect the health and safety
of persons who are not employees, for example, visitors or contractors.
- It is also recognised that where we produce articles and substances
for use at work, or we erect or install any plant or equipment,
we have a duty to ensure the health and safety of those who use
them and make available all the required information for their health
and safety.
- We remind you, our employees, of your duty to look after your
own health and safety and ensure that you do not endanger others
and you must co-operate with us, as your employer, in meeting our
legal obligations.
