IMS Manual

IM 6.0 Health & Safety Policy

• Hi-Tech Steel Services 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 activities or work processes. To this end, we intend to    comply rigorously with all health and safety legislation, Codes of    Practice and best guidance and work methods available.

• The health and safety policy and manuals we have prepared indicate    the ways in which Hi-Tech Steel Services Ltd intends to meet with    legal requirements.

• 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 organization and    arrangements that we have set up to carry out the policy.

• Therefore, we provide, so far as is reasonably practicable:
           •   A safe system of work
           •   Safe plant and equipment
           •   Safe means of handling, transporting articles, substances                 and people
           •   Adequate training, instruction, information and supervision
           •   A safe place of work with safe access and egress
           •   A safe and healthy environment
           •   Adequate welfare facilities

• We also ensure, so far as 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 recognized that where we produce articles and substances    for use at work, or we erect or install any plant or equipment, we    have 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.

To meet this commitment the Organisation has documented, implemented and will maintain an Environmental Management System which sets out to meet the requirements of OHSAS 18001:1999.

This Policy is approved by the undersigned and is supported by all Personnel within the organisation, displayed in prominent places and reviewed at the management review meeting for suitability and effectiveness.
