The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and European Directives impose statutory duties on employers and employees.

The Company:

PMR will seek to safeguard the health safety and welfare of all staff and visitors.

The Company will ensure that responsibilities for health and safety are properly assigned, accepted and fulfilled at all levels within the Company.

The Company will ensure insofar as it can that all staff and visitors are aware of potential hazards, safe working practices, and arrangements for emergencies such as fire, flood and first aid.

The Managing Director and all members of the management team together with departmental and functional heads are committed to the implementation of this Policy.

The Company, so far as is reasonably practicable, will provide and maintain a safe and healthy working environment for all employees and make adequate provision with regard to the facilities and arrangements for their welfare at work. PMR also provides training for employees, as appropriate, to ensure their health and safety at work. This will include instruction on the correct use of equipment and substances at work and detail the conditions and precautions necessary to ensure that, when properly used, they will be safe and without risk to health.

Employees:

Employees also have a specific responsibility to exercise reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and for any other persons who may be affected by their actions.

Employees should fully co-operate in all matters relating to health and safety, report all accidents and not interfere with or misuse anything that is provided for their general welfare at work.

The Health and Safety Policy will be communicated to all staff and is kept under continuous review, and as and when necessary all employees will be advised of any such changes that are made.
