Health and Safety Policy Statement
Helm specialises in the provision of construction services
and residential, specialist application and commercial property
development. It provides services to a range of individual,
private, charitable and public sector clients.
Health and Safety is of prime importance to Helm and we will
seek to conduct our business in such a way as to avoid harm
to all our stake holders (employees, clients and partners)
and all others who may be affected directly or indirectly
by our activities.
We recognise that Health and Safety management is a key aspect
of managing the business as a whole. For a Health and Safety
management system to be fully sustainable and effective each
individual must similarly recognise their role relating to
Health and Safety and line managers must be responsible for
Health and Safety management. Health and Safety is therefore
incorporated into policies, planning and controls in such
a manner that facilitates operation within the framework of
Company and statutory requirements.
The
Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, together with other
related regulations, places specific responsibilities on both
employers and employees. It is our Company policy to comply
fully with this legislation and, in doing so, we will consult
with all employees and all other stake holders on Health and
Safety matters.
Furthermore, we fully recognise procedures detailed by the
Health and
Safety Executive and each development or project we undertake
will have a trained CDM
Coordinator (Construction Design and Management Coordinator)
appointed in the first instance.
Finally, a Health and Safety handbook has been developed by
the company Health and Safety advisor, to cover the Health
and Safety issues which impact upon our business. Directors
and senior management who manage our activities will ensure
that the procedures and work instructions are observed and
promote awareness in all employees as an integral part of
good management. We request all members of staff to maintain
an up-to-date knowledge of the relevant documentation contained
in the Health and Safety handbook to the extent applicable
to their individual responsibilities.
