Health and Safety

Company health and safety policy statement

We firmly believe that adequate provisions for health and safety are essential to working life. The maintenance of healthy and safe working conditions and the prevention of injuries and losses are not only of vital importance to the Company’s efficiency and success, but also in the best interests of all our employees and their families.

We therefore aim to ensure that all employees are fully aware of their responsibility for safety and of the safety rules which are relevant to their own jobs. We will provide up to date information about health and safety issues at work.

Please refer to our Health and Safety Policy and Risk Assessment for more information.
