Health and Safety General Policy
1. LIMA Networks Ltd believes that one of its most important
functions is the prevention of accidents and ill health. We do not
wish any of our employees or any other person to suffer as the
result of our activities or work processes. To this end, we intend
to comply rigorously with all health and safety legislation, Codes
of Practice, best guidance and work methods available, in
accordance with the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974.
2.The Health and Safety Policy and manuals we have prepared
indicate the ways in which we intend to meet with legal
requirements.
3.Legislation requires that, as an employer, we prepare a
statement of General Policy with respect to the health and safety
of our employees, together with details of the organisation and
arrangements that we have set up to carry out that Policy.
Therefore, we provide, so far as is reasonably practicable:
a. A safe system of work
b. Safe plant and equipment
c. Safe means of handling and transporting
articles, substances and people
d. Adequate training, instruction, information
and supervision
e. A safe place of work with safe access and
egress
f. A safe and healthy environment
g. Adequate welfare facilities
5. We also ensure, so far as is reasonably
practicable, that the way we carry out our work does not affect the
health and safety of persons who are not our employees, for
example, visitors and contractors.
It is also recognised that where we produce articles and
substances for use at work, or we erect or install any plant or
equipment, we have a duty to ensure the health and safety of those
who use them and make available all the required information for
their health and safety.
We remind you, our employees, of your duty to look after your own
health and safety and ensure that you do not endanger others and
that you must co-operate with us, as your employer, in meeting our
legal obligations.
