All employees and sub-contractor staff are expected to
co-operate and assist in the implementation of this policy, whilst ensuring that their own works, so far as is reasonably practicable, are carried out without risk to themselves, others or the environment. This includes co-operating with management on any health, safety, welfare or environment related matter.

Employee consultation and participation is a vital part of our policy. Individuals also have duties and are encouraged and expected to co-operate, contribute ideas, suggest improvements, report shortcomings and generally look after the health, safety and welfare of themselves and others.
