HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY STATEMENT
It is the Parish Council’s policy to:
-
Provide healthy and safe working conditions, equipment and systems of work for our employees, volunteers, committee members and hirers
-
Provide such training and information as necessary to employees, volunteers, committee members and hirers
It is the intention of the Little Cawthorpe Parish Council to comply with all health and safety legislation and to act positively where it can reasonably do so to prevent injury, ill health and/or any danger arising from its activities and operations.
Little Cawthorpe Parish Council considers the promotion of health and safety of its employees at work and those who use its premises, including contractors who may work there, to be of great importance. The Council recognises that the effective prevention of accidents depends as much on a committed attitude of mind to safety as on the operation and maintenance of equipment and safe systems at work. To this end, it will seek to encourage employees, committee members and users to engage in the establishment and observance of safe working practices.
Employees, hirers and visitors will be expected to recognise that there is a duty to comply with the practices set out by the Council, with all safety requirements set out in the hiring agreement and with safety notices on the premises and accept responsibility to do everything they can to prevent injury to themselves or others.
