  • Provide employees with appropriate and sufficient information, instruction, training and supervision as is necessary to enable the safe performance of work activities.
  • Provide protective clothing and equipment in instances in which hazards cannot be realistically eliminated completely.
  • Provide adequate facilities and arrangements to enable employees and their representatives to raise issues of health & safety for consultation.
  • Provide appropriate first aid and emergency facilities.
  • Provide details of the organisation and arrangements for Health & Safety in separate documents.
  • Ensure that this policy is subject to annual review to monitor the effectiveness of Health & Safety arrangements and if necessary, revised in the light of legislative or organisational changes.
  • Investigate accidents or dangerous occurrences which may take place, to identify the probably caused and learn from them to avoid possible repetition.
