An integral part of effective safety management, in our business, is awareness that high standards of safety, health and welfare are required.
Statutory obligations are the minimum standards for staff, plant and equipment.
This Safety Statement shall be reviewed annually and its operation monitored.
Staff at all levels shall receive sufficient training in safety, health and welfare aspects of the work, to ensure that they are aware of potential hazards and the action required from them to eliminate or overcome those hazards.
It is required, that all employees cooperate to prevent injury to themselves and to others. It is only with this active co-operation and participation that good health and safe-working conditions may be attained.

We demonstrate our commitment by implementing a safety management system in accordance with
the requirements of OHSAS 18001:2007 – Occupational Health & Safety Management System.
