Batchelor Electrical Ltd is committed to the implementation and promotion of Health and Safety at Work Act, and all other relevant regulations and legislation.  It recognises that the highest priority must be accorded to ensuring safe methods of work at all times.  It also regards the promotion of health and safety matters as a mutual duty and objective of all management and employees.

It is therefore, the company’s declared intention to ensure, as far as is reasonably practical, that none of our employees or other person not in our employment , but who may be affected by our undertakings are exposed to risks to his/her health, welfare and safety.

To achieve this intention the company will:

• Obtain and keep up-to-date knowledge of legislation, codes of practice, and other technical and professional guidance on health and safety relating to the company’s activities.
• Inform all employees, as relevant to their duties at any given time, of their statutory obligations as to, for example, safe methods of work, use of protective equipment, etc and point out known hazards which may be involved in their work.  Issue a copy of this policy to all staff and updates as appropriate.
• Provide integrated safety and job training for all employees as is necessary to safeguard their own and other persons’ health and safety.
• Expect the compliance of all employees with all relevant safety regulations and rules, and actively encourage their co-operation in establishing and maintaining a safe and healthy working environment for all.
• Appoint a Health and Safety Officer, and, through existing staff structure, continuously monitor the effectiveness of its arrangements for health and safety, as required by current legislation. Ensure that this safety policy is kept up-to-date with current working experience, latest official and professional guidance and new or amended legislation.

Pay particular attention to compliance with the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 (CDM Regulations), as this covers the vast majority of the company’s business activities, and it places considerable responsibility on both management and employees.

To this end, therefore, concern for health and safety must be an integral part of company organisation at all levels, and the Directors mean to ensure that this concern will be translated into effective action.
