5 Consultation and Participation We recognise that employee involvement in health and safety is an integral part of our safety management system. We are committed to providing adequate and appropriate consultation and we welcome the views of all our employees on issues relating to health and safety. In particular should we change, update, or modify the manner, the location or the way we carry out a work activity, including the introduction of any new machines, procedures, materials and substances, we will consult with all our relevant employees. Furthermore, should any of our employees raise any matters relating to their health and safety connected in any way to our work activities we will consider such matters and we will endeavor to take any necessary action that we consider necessary or appropriate to deal with the matters raised. Note: Other arrangements included in Appendix I Safety Representative (where appointed) Our employees will be facilitated if they wish to decide on, select and appoint a safety representative.

7 Welfare Facilities Requirements Welfare facilities are provided and maintained in a clean hygienic state for the use of our employees and visitors. A sample list of welfare facilities given in Appendix III Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) For all our work activities we will endeavor to ensure that all our employees are adequately protected and where it is not reasonably practicable to reduce or eliminate the risk, then as a last resort we will provide PPE appropriate to the task / work environment. As required we will ensure: Provision of adequate and suitable PPE. Ensure PPE is maintained used and replaced as recommended by the manufacturer s instructions. Record information of supply and training in use of PPE as required Having received the appropriate PPE we will expect our employees to: Use PPE properly whenever it is required. Report any defects in or damage to the PPE immediately. Participate in any training or instruction we provide on PPE. Inform us of any medical conditions they have that might be affected by the use of the PPE provided to them. A sample PPE register is given in Appendix III
8 First Aid Based on the type of hazards that exist in our work place we will ensure that we have provided adequate first aid equipment and facilities. Furthermore an Occupational First Aider will be provided should specific hazards in our workplace be identified through our risk assessment as requiring a trained First Aider. A sample list of first aid arrangements is given in Appendix III. Pregnant Employees There are specific regulations dealing with pregnancy at work which we will apply when any of our employees informs us that they are pregnant, has recently given birth or is breastfeeding and who provides us with an appropriate medical certificate. As the earliest stages of pregnancy are the most critical ones for the developing child it is in our employee s best interest to let us know she is pregnant as soon as possible. We will carry out a specific risk assessment for that employee. We will particularly take account of any medical advice our employee has received. If a risk cannot be eliminated or reduced to an acceptable level we will: adjust the working conditions or hours of work or both. If this is not possible, we provide alternate work and if this is not possible we will facilitate granting the employee health and safety leave. When carrying out such a risk assessment we will identify hazards in the workplace that could pose a health and safety risk to the new and expectant mothers and take appropriate action to remove or reduce the risk. We will keep this risk assessment under review and update as necessary. Furthermore we will ensure that pregnant, post natal or breastfeeding employees have a suitable place to rest. Note: Other arrangements included in Appendix I Young Workers There are specific regulations dealing with young persons at work which we will comply with in the event of a person under 18yrs of age entering employment with us. In particular; If the young person is under 16yrs old we will obtain written permission from their parent or guardian. We will not exceed the recommended working hours for young persons We will assess the risk to the safety and health of the young person arising from their lack of experience, maturity or awareness of risk any work activity likely to involve a risk of harmful exposure to physical, biological or chemical agents the physical and psychological capacity of the young person
9 and put in place all required control measures Work Related Stress and Dignity at Work As your employer we will as far as reasonably practicable ensure that; No employee s workload is so high that he or she will have to consistently work overtime. No employee will be subjected to harassment or degrading behavior from colleagues or managers and that everyone in the workplace treats others with respect and courtesy even if they do not get along. No employee has to work in an environment which is unsafe and in which they would be worried about accidents. Employees are trained so they can do their jobs effectively and safely Everyone knows what their core job is There is in place a Dignity at Work Policy outlining our procedures with regard to addressing bullying and harassment at work, this is in keeping with the HSA Code of Practice on the Prevention and Resolution of Bullying at Work. Emergency Procedures Emergency refers to any event that may require an evacuation of the premises (e.g. gas leak, fire, bomb threat, etc.). On hearing the alarm all employees, visitors and customers are required to: GO IMMEDIATELY to the emergency exits, closing all doors as you leave. DON T wait to find out what s happening. DON T stop to collect personal items. GO at once to your assembly point and wait for further instruction. DO NOT re-enter the building until authorised to do so by the emergency services. A sample list of Emergency Contacts is given in Appendix III
10 Our Risk Assessments In carrying out our risk assessments and in consultation with our employees we have reviewed our workplace and work practices, we have both identified the hazards that exist and made an assessment of the risks arising from these hazards. Where additional controls are required to avoid or reduce the risk these have been identified on the risk assessment and action list and will be implemented by the responsible person. We will make every reasonable effort to give priority to the implementation of outstanding controls for those hazards of most concern. Where we are of the opinion that the necessary competence to carry out particular risk assessments is not available in house additional expertise will be obtained. All our risk assessments will be reviewed and revised if required at least annually or more often if something arises which could affect the risk assessments.
