Health and Safety Policy Statement

It is the Policy of Haymills to effectively manage in such a way as to ensure the requirements of relevant European Directives, the Health and Safety at Work, etc, Act 1974 and construction related legislation i.e. Construction (Design and Management) Regulations, the Construction (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations shall be regarded as the minimum standard of Health, Safety and Welfare to be achieved.

The Board of Directors is proud of the Company’s safety culture and is committed to ensuring Health and Safety remains a high priority. To this end, they have appointed the Managing Director as the nominated Director responsible for Haymills Health and Safety.

Although the policy is the responsibility of the Managing Director, the Board has supported this by appointing the Technical Director to oversee strategy and day-to-day management of Health and Safety within the Company. Compliance to the Health and Safety Policy and procedures is deemed as an absolute minimum and all employees are responsible for this and also for committing to continuous improvement.

Duties and responsibilities are clearly defined with policy, procedure and Management - and the Safety and Environmental Department will actively pursue legislative and policy compliance as well as ensuring processes are in place for continuous improvement.

The Board recognise that continuous improvement will only come about by supporting the development of its safety culture. There are procedures in place to ensure that the policy remains a live document and continuous improvement initiatives are formalised, supported, carried out and reported upon.

The Company will provide the necessary information and training to all employees to ensure co-operation/compliance with the Health and Safety responsibilities defined within this policy document.

Haymills has a dedicated Safety and Environmental Department to assist and advise employees in the management of Health, Safety and Welfare. There are also mechanisms within the Company to ensure employee participation is captured. The Board recognise that all employee participation is vital to achieve the high levels of performance expected and to aid continuous improvement.
