The Directors of Russells Limited fully accept their responsibilities as
detailed in the Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and any subordinate
legislation. The Director with responsibility for Health & Safety at Board
level is Gareth Russell. We believe that people are our most valuable asset
and the measures identified in this document are designed to reflect that
belief.
It is our policy to do all that is reasonably practicable to ensure that we
provide a safe and healthy environment not just for those who work for us,
but for any others whom we may affect through our business activities.
In complying with legislation, approved codes of practice (ACOPs) and Guidance
notes we will ensure that the highest standards of health and safety will be
reflected in our activities, including the procurement of articles and
substances and the management of our construction projects.
The implementation of this policy will be achieved through the following:
• Compliance with the Health & Safety Arrangements
• Compliance with the job specific Health & Safety Plan
• Strong leadership and management
• Training programmes
• Site inspections and audits
• Support from professional managers and specialists
• Consultation with employees
• Providing support and assistance to our sub-contractors
This Policy and supporting health and safety arrangements are reviewed
annually and at any other time as necessary due to changes in legislation or
the development of new best practices.
