Health and Safety Policy Statement

Jon is committed to identifying and managing health and safety risks, meeting legislative requirements and achieving best practice standards by:

• Recognising that everyone plays a part in creating a safe and healthy working environment.
• Establishing an environment that prevents injury and ill health.
• Maintaining up-to-date knowledge, understanding and skills to enable all work to be carried out safely.
• Providing a clear and effective health and safety policy.
• Continuously seeking ways to improving the health and safety of the workplace.
• A commitment to upholding moral and legal expectations to “do the right thing” 

In failing to manage health and safety correctly, Jon recognises that the result could be:

• Death, injuries or ill-health to administration staff, employed site operatives, sub-contractors, the self-employed and the general public
• Loss of business through interruptions/bad publicity
• Time spent investigating accidents instead of working towards goals
• Disruption of activities through absence following injury or as a result of ill health
• Disruption of activities through defending claims and criminal actions
• Increased insurance premiums
• Long term feelings of personal guilt
• Criminal prosecution by enforcing authorities
• Fines, imprisonment or other penalties imposed by a court of law.

As stated in the UK Health & Safety Act 1974, everybody has a responsibility to protect the health and safety of themselves and others when carrying out any activity; Jon takes these responsibilities seriously.
