• It is the policy of Seafield
Logistics Limited (hereafter
referred to as “the Company”)
to comply with the terms of
the Health and Safety at Work
etc. Act 1974, subsequent legislation
and to provide and maintain
a healthy and safe working environment.
The health and safety objective
of the Company is to minimise
the number of instances of occupational
accidents and illnesses and
ultimately achieve an accident-free
workplace.
• All employees will be provided
with such equipment, information,
training and supervision as
is necessary to implement the
policy and achieve the above
stated objective.
• The Company recognises and
accepts the duty to protect
the health and safety of all
visitors to its premises, including
contractors and temporary workers,
as well as any members of the
public who might be affected
by our operations.
• While the management of the
Company will do all that is
within its powers to ensure
the health and safety of its
employees, it is recognised
that health and safety at work
is the responsibility of each
and every individual associated
with the Company. It is the
duty of each employee to take
reasonable care of their own
and other people's welfare and
to report any situation which
may pose a threat to the well-being
of any other person.
• The management of the Company
will provide every employee
with the training necessary
to carry out their tasks safely.
However, if an employee is unsure
how to perform a certain task
or feels it would be dangerous
to perform a specific job then
it is the employee's duty to
report this to their supervisor
or the person responsible for
health and safety. An effective
health and safety programme
requires continuous communication
between workers at all levels.
It is therefore every worker's
responsibility to report immediately
any situation which could jeopardise
the well being of their self
or herself or any other person.
• The Company will make available
such finances and resources
as are deemed reasonable to
implement this policy.
• All injuries, however small,
sustained by a person at work
must be reported to the Site
Manager. Accident records are
crucial to the effective monitoring
and revision of the policy and
must therefore be accurate and
comprehensive.
• The Company recognises the
civil and moral need to ensure
that all employees adhere to
this Health and Safety Policy
and will be prepared to invoke
the disciplinary procedure in
case of any deliberate disregard
for the Health and Safety Policy.
• The Company’s Health and
Safety Policy will be continually
monitored and updated, particularly
when changes in the scale and
nature of our operations occur.
The Policy will be updated at
least every 12 months. The specific
arrangements for the implementation
of the Policy and the personnel
responsible are detailed in
this policy document.
