Health & Safety Policy Statement J.B.L. Electrical accepts that it has moral and legal duties and responsibilities for the health, safety and welfare of its employees, contractors, clients and others who may be affected by the way in which it carries out its business operations. It is therefore the policy of the Company that all work activities, e.g. design, installation and maintenance, will be carried out in such a manner as to ensure that, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare of its employees, clients and others may not be adversely affected. The Company also recognises that to comply with its duties and responsibilities, as set out in the Management of Health and Safety at Work [MHSW] Regulations 1992, that consideration for health, safety and welfare must be considered as an equal with all other commercial considerations and will therefore give full backing both to this policy and to those with responsibilities to carry it out. All employees who authorise or control work activities are responsible for ensuring that at all time health, safety and welfare facilitates are available and that the work is carried out in compliance with all relevant standards and legislation. Specific attention is to be made to ensure that where work equipment is designed, specified and or installed that it complies with all the relevant legislative requirements, e.g. S.6 of the HASAW Act 1974, Chapter 37, Part 1, the Work Equipment, Supply of Machinery and Gas Safety (Installation & Use) Regulations. It follows, that they must ensure that their responsibilities are adequately delegated during their absence. Employees are actively encouraged to carry out their work activities in a safe and considerate manner, taking due care for their own health & safety and that of others, as in S.7 & 8, the HASAW Act 1974 Chapter 37 Part 1. Disciplinary action will be taken against any employee who flagrantly disregards safety instructions and/or approved safe working practices. Where hazards cannot be totally removed due either to the nature of the plant / equipment in use, or to control measures not being available or practicable, then personal protective equipment must be provided. Employees, contractors and others are to be actively encouraged to use this equipment to ensure the health & safety of themselves. The Company will co-operate with clients, planning supervisors and principal contractors in complying fully with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 (CDM), with respect to design, health & safety plans / files. The Company will, so far as is reasonably practicable, ensure that contractors employed to carry out work on their behalf are competent and that they conduct their work activities in accordance with the Company's policy for health, safety & welfare.
