HEALTH AND SAFETY

“We take your health and safety at work extremely seriously so we ask that you read the following section very carefully and comply fully with our Safety policy and procedure.”

We take your health and safety at work extremely seriously so we ask that you read the following section very carefully and comply fully with our Safety policy and procedure. Your manager will give you information regarding specific health and safety issues relevant to your job when you become a Tracklementeer.

Please speak to your manager immediately if you are aware of a hazard or believe your health and safety to be at risk.

Tracklements observe the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and all relevant regulations and codes of practice made under it from time to time. We take into account any recommendations made by the Health and Safety Executive with regard to health and safety issues and where appropriate will liaise with the Health and Safety Executive on particular health and safety issues which are of particular relevance to the Company.

Tracklements will ensure that you have a safe and healthy working environment. You will be given the necessary health & safety training as required.

Further information about your individual responsibility is outlined in the company Health & Safety Policy Statement which is displayed on the staff noticeboard in the canteen.

Tracklements will conduct its undertaking in such a way as to ensure, so far as it is reasonably practicable, that persons not in its employment who may be affected are not exposed to risks to their health and safety. Where such risks exist, information will be provided, and all reasonable steps will be taken to bring this to the attention of its employees.

Tracklements will provide free eye and eyesight tests for users of VDU Equipment. The cost of this can be claimed back through our Company health care plan, providing a valid receipt is provided.  If you choose not to be a part of this plan then please provide a receipt to your manager for reimbursement.

You are required to take all reasonable steps to safeguard your health and safety, and that of any other person who may be affected by your actions, and to observe at all times published safety and fire rules and procedures.

  • Tracklements is responsible for:

    • Assessing risks, identifying hazards and providing a safe working environment with safe access and egress

    • Providing information, instruction, training and supervision in safe working methods and procedures.

    • Providing and maintaining safe working equipment, PPE, welfare and first aid facilities

    • Promoting the co-operation & responsibilities of employees

    This policy needs the full co-operation of all employees who are expected to give all possible assistance aimed at its successful implementation, to take reasonable care for their own safety and that of others. In order to achieve this end, you must:

    • Take reasonable care for yourself & others

    • Co-operate with us and comply with any safety instructions or training given

    • Not modify or misuse anything which has been provided to assist with Health & Safety

    • Report any potential risks, hazards, faulty equipment or near misses

    Any failure on your part to comply with any aspect of our health and safety procedures, rules or duties specifically assigned to you with regard to health and safety will be regarded by us as misconduct which will be dealt with under the terms of our Disciplinary Procedure.

  • If you suffer an accident on the Company’s premises, you (or someone on your behalf) must report that fact to your Manager as soon as is practicable after the event.
    All accidents should be reported, however trivial. The accident will be recorded in the Company’s accident book, which is kept in the office.

    Please acquaint yourself with the location of the maintained first aid box and who the first aiders are.
    A list of First Aiders is in the canteen and the entrance to the factory.

  • Although the final level of responsibility for ensuring health and safety at work lies with the Head of Operations, certain managers and employees have specific responsibilities to ensure that the Company’s Health and Safety Policy is maintained at all times.

    Head of Operations has overall and final responsibility for giving effect to this Health and Safety Policy. They are also responsible for ensuring there is consultation on health and safety matters with employees, either through representatives of recognised trade unions or through representatives of other groups of employees, as appropriate, in order to maintain health and safety at work. They are also responsible for the implementation and monitoring of health and safety policies.

    You have the responsibility to observe the safety rules and to co-operate with the implementation of the Company’s Health and Safety Policy to achieve a healthy and safe workplace and to take reasonable care of yourself and others.
