Health & Safety Policy Statement
Wendy Fair Markets regard with the utmost importance the Health and Safety of our employees, our customers and the public who attend our Markets. We will do everything that is reasonably practical to prevent the injury of individuals and to protect employees and property in general.
Everyone has a responsibility to prevent accidents. We believe that accidents happen because we do not respond properly to what is happening around us. We must take preventive action and follow safe systems of work.
We would remind all our employees that they have a legal obligation to co-operate in the operation of this policy. You must not misuse, damage or interfere with any work equipment. You must fully observe the rules governing the safe operation of such equipment. Failure to comply with this policy is a serious offence and could lead to disciplinary action.
Additionally, all employees have a legal obligation to adhere to safe working practices and to promote this policy by carrying out the following procedures.
ALL EMPLOYEES MUST: -
- Know their individual responsibilities in the promotion of Health & Safety at Work.
- Report any incidents that have or could cause personal injury or damage to health.
- in any subsequent investigations into accidents or incidents.
- Adhere to all safety measures whether given in writing or verbally.
- Ensure that working practices within their areas of responsibility are up to date.
- Maintain working practices strictly within the meaning of this policy document.
Health & Safety at Work practices are a proactive activity, which aid efficiency by reducing accidents and injury. This serves to assist in maintaining our operational staff levels and give the public confidence to visit again.
