An injury and illness free workplace is an annual objective of Allviron and it’s staff.

This policy recognises that Allviron is responsible for the health and safety of all employees and visitors in the workplace. In fulfilling this responsibility we have a duty to provide and maintain a working environment that is safe and without risks to health.

To meet the objectives of this policy, we are committed to regular discussions with employees to ensure that health and safety issues are regularly reviewed. Health and safety is most effective when a joint owner/manager and employee approach is used to identify and continually improve health and safety performance.

·      Immediate action is taken to address safety events, near misses or concerns raised by staff and an incident review conducted at the next Toolbox meeting.

·      Regular workplace inspections are conducted.

Employees:

·      Have a duty to take care of their health and safety and that of others.
