In recognition of our legal, moral, health,
safety and welfare obligations towards our own staff and any
third parties that may be affected by our activities, it is
M&A Cleaning’s policy that all staff and partners
(i.e. sub–contractors) are committed to meeting all
relevant standards as a matter of course.
Our minimum standard for health, safety and welfare management
is set at a statutory compliance level – however we
require that all of our staff and partners exceed this level
whenever it is reasonably practicable to do so, and we continually
seek ways of improving our health, safety and welfare performance.
To this end the management and staff of M&A Cleaning periodically
set specific targets and meet to monitor, audit and review
existing arrangements.
The foundation stone of our health, safety
and welfare compliance arrangements is our commitment to risk
assessments and to the implementation, monitoring and review
of appropriate risk control measures. All staff and partners
are required to give their full commitment to this objective.
As communication and co-ordination both
play essential roles in our objectives here, this policy statement
must be made freely available by all of our staff to all persons
that come into contact with our activities (i.e. staff, tenants,
suppliers, contractors, the general public, etc).
In recognition of the key role undertaken
by our employees and activity partners in the effective implementation
of this policy, it is M&A Cleaning’s policy that
all employees and partners give their full commitment and
resources to the attainment of high levels of staff competence
via staff instruction, information, training, and supervision.
All M&A Cleaning staff and partners are required to co-operate
with this policy - not only to ensure their personal safety,
but also to ensure that they are not prosecuted for breaches
of legislation, or have disciplinary action taken against
them for breaches of M&A Cleaning or client project rules
or procedures. Our specific responsibilities are:
1. To comply with any M&A Cleaning
health & safety rules, safe systems of work and professional
procedures or codes of practise.
2. To co-operate with M&A Cleaning
so that M&A Cleaning can discharge its duties and requirements
under relevant legislation.
3. To take reasonable care for the health,
safety and welfare of themselves and other persons who may
be affected by their acts or omissions.
4. To not intentionally or recklessly interfere
with or misuse anything provided in the interests of health,
safety or welfare.
This health, safety and welfare policy will be updated as
and when necessary and will be reviewed – at a minimum
– on an annual basis.
