HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY STATEMENT
TSFP’s objective is to prevent, insofar as it is reasonably practicable to do so, during the course of the work or duties being undertaken, any accidental occurrence resulting in:
• Injury to any person
• Damage to or loss of any equipment, property, materials or products
• Delays in any processes or operation
• Events that may otherwise be detrimental to efficiency and/or prestige
• Adverse impact upon the environment
The Policy is applicable to all Employees and all persons whose presence is necessary at TSFP’s premises, works sites or workplaces. This includes the Employees of Sub-contractors, self-employed persons and Consultants.
The application and promotion of the Policy is the responsibility of Senior Management. Whilst duties and tasks may be delegated, the overall responsibility remains that of Senior Management to ensure that the Company complies with all relevant statutory health and safety legislation, common law and Approved Codes of Practice. Individuals can make important contributions to the development and implementation of policies and arrangements. TSFP will give all opportunities for participation in this process and actively encourages involvement of Employees either directly or through their Representatives. To ensure that this Policy can be successfully implemented, TSFP will provide such funds as is reasonably necessary. Suitable and adequate measures shall be taken to safeguard any person, equipment, property, material or product likely to be exposed to any known or suspected hazards associated with or arising out of the processes, tasks or operations being undertaken. The Company will take into account at tendering stage, those factors which assist in eliminating injury, damage and waste. Adequate provision shall be made for the Welfare needs of Employees whilst carrying out their tasks and duties and any hazard to health associated with the work shall be the subject of strict precautionary measures.
This Policy shall be reviewed as and when required.
