The company recognises its responsibility as an employer, for providing so far as is reasonably practicable, a safe and healthy working environment for its employees, and that of people not in our employment who may be affected by the companies activities.

We, the Management of Environmental Waste Systems Limited are in agreement to honour our statutory obligations under the relevant health and safety legislation as to satisfy the needs and expectations of our business, employees, visitors and customers, while taking into account the needs of our customers, and the community as a whole.

We will continue to monitor, compare and improve our safety performance based on current legislation and standards, also taking into account the performance of comparable businesses within the industry.

We will achieve our objectives by helping to motivate company employees to develop a positive and active role in the decision making process, and the involvement of implementing the health and safety management systems.

We believe we will help to develop a positive and pro-active health and safety culture, based on the co-operation and understanding of our workforce, as a result of this involvement.

We recognise that to maintain such a high level of commitment, it will be necessary to provide and develop active roles, and adequate resources within the company. To this end, we will ensure that the management structure will encourage and support safe working conditions.

Objective:

It is the primary objective of both management and employees only being realised through proper planning and foresight to ensure clearly and defined safety responsibilities, employee awareness and conscious application of policies and procedures.

Responsibility:

Ultimate responsibility for the policy lies with the Managing Director.

The Health and Safety Manager will be responsible for ensuring that the company’s safety policy is implemented, and will create a safe working environment. Good communication and effective liaison must be established at all levels.

We all have a duty to create and maintain safe working practices and a healthy working environment; we all have a responsibility to ourselves, each other and the company.
