Section One – POLICY

Promancon Consults recognises the fact that health and safety has positive benefits to the organisation and commitment to a high level of safety makes good business sense. It also recognises that health and safety is a business function and must, therefore, continually progress and adapt to change. The Company’s approach to health and safety are based on the identification and control of risk.

This policy (and the associated procedures) also acknowledges responsibility in respect of persons other than employees of the Company, whether members of the public, employees of contracted companies or visitors. In the supply of organisation and services, operation and maintenance of all equipment and materials, it is the aim of the Company to do everything possible to prevent personal injury and damage. To this end the Company provides appropriate safety instructions and PPEs for all employees where necessary.

All employees are involved in the decision-making processes either on an individual basis or through their representatives. The performance of both individuals and the organisation are monitored to pre-determined standards with continual improvements being made to health and safety standards.
