HEALTH
AND SAFETY POLICY
This is the
Health and Safety Policy Statement of Tydd St Mary Parish Council:
Tydd St Mary Parish Council recognises and accepts its responsibility for providing a safe and healthy environment for its members; staff; volunteers; visitors; and for anyone affected by its activities.
The Council maintains this policy for the management of health and safety as its top priority and will do all that is reasonably practicable to ensure effective organisation and planning are established and maintained. The Council will also ensure that appropriate and effective audit and review mechanisms are used to inform the work of the Council, which undertakes to commit appropriate resources to manage health and safety.
Our
statement of general policy, below, is based upon that required by virtue of
the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. Although the Council has a single
employee, the principles of the Act and its underpinning Regulations as later
published are taken by the Council as a minimum requirement for the safe and
effective management of the Council and its activities.
Our statement of general policy is:
• To provide
adequate control of the health and safety risks arising from our activities;
• To consult with our staff on matters
affecting their health and safety;
• To provide
and maintain safe equipment;
• To provide
sufficient information, instruction, and supervision of staff, volunteers and
visitors as far as is reasonably practicable;
• To ensure
all staff and volunteers are competent in their Council-related activities, and
to provide adequate training as far as is reasonably practicable;
• To prevent
accidents and activity-related ill health as far as is reasonably practicable;
• To maintain safe and healthy conditions for
conducting the Council’s business and the public facilities it provides; and
• To review
and revise this Policy as necessary at regular intervals, but at least
annually.
