The Health and Safety Policy and Management System apply across both organisations and to all of their activities including education, outreach, consultancy and contract research. |

| Health and Safety Policy Statement |
| We consider the health, safety and welfare of all employees, contractors and the general public to be of paramount importance. It is our policy to comply with all relevant legislation; in particular the Health and Safety at Work Etc Act 1974 and the Regulations made under it. We will: |
| |
- Ensure that authority and responsibility for health and safety is clearly defined throughout the executive management chain.
- Plan activities and assess and control risks associated with them so that they can be undertaken safely.
- Consult with employees via staff safety representatives and ensure that adequate arrangements exist for the consultation of relevant external bodies on health and safety issues.
- Provide sufficient information, instruction, training and supervision to enable staff and contractors to work safely.
- Maintain safe places of work and control risks from equipment and substances.
- Provide and maintain appropriate welfare facilities.
- Monitor, review and improve the performance of systems for managing health and safety.
|
| |
| This policy will be periodically monitored to ensure that the objectives are achieved. It will be reviewed and, if necessary, revised in the light of legislative or organisational changes. |
