Health & Safety Policy
It is the policy of SMMTGroup to ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of all its employees, visitors, contractors and members of the public and all persons who may be affected by SMMTGroup activities.
To achieve the highest possible standards of health and safety, SMMTGroups objective is to see that everything practical is done to prevent injury and ill health by ensuring:
- a safe and healthy working environment
- safe systems and methods of work
- suitable and sufficient training, information, instruction and supervision
- completion and regular revision of risk assessments
- regular consultation with employees
- active participation and support of all employees
- proper welfare facilities and arrangements
- continuous improvement in health and safety standards and annual revision of the policy
Health and safety is everyone’s responsibility and all employees must do all that is reasonably practicable to prevent injury to themselves and other persons who may be affected by their acts or omissions.
This policy describes the various responsibilities for health and safety management within SMMTGroup and applies equally to all persons involved with the business’ activities.
Where an employee considers that the arrangements for health and safety are inadequate, they are to report the matter to their Department Head/Line Manager at the earliest opportunity.
