          It is legal requirements under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 to devise a Health and Safety policy and to provide adequate information, instruction, training, and supervision to ensure that the policies are followed or adapted and re-written when circumstances change.<\/span><\/p>\n

          Staff who fail to follow written policy, internally published guidance or even verbal guidance from a Line Manager can find themselves in breach of Safety Law, if an accident results directly or indirectly from their activities and can be personally prosecuted by enforcement agency officials e.g., Environmental Health Officers at Work Act 1994.<\/span><\/p>\n

          All Staff are encouraged to be fully pro-active on Health & Safety issues and bring any perceived problems quickly to the attention of their local management. If the problem persists, they may seek additional advice from the Company Directors.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
