Safety, Health, Environmental,& Quality Policies

• The objectives of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 are to secure the health, safety and welfare of persons at work and to protect others from risks to their health and safety arising out of, or in connection with, the activities of persons at work.
  
  Under the Health and Safety at Work Act, Section 2(3), employers with five or more employees must have a written policy for looking after the health, safety and welfare of all their employees, and it must state the means by which the policy will be implemented.
  
  The Health and Safety Executive's Inspectors look for hard evidence that a company is operating an effective safety management system and the first piece of evidence of this will be the written Policy. This is a measure of a company's intention to provide and maintain safe systems of work.
  
  The environment is also subject to stricter legal controls since the introduction of the Environmental Protection Act (E.P.A.) in 1990. The E.P.A. has been introduced to protect the environment and to prosecute companies and/or individuals who fail to do this. The Construction Industry's work involves potentially polluting activities i.e. working adjacent to watercourses, drains, etc. and in the last few years companies have been prosecuted for contravening the Act.
  
  The effect of environmental or safety prosecutions can be harmful to a company, it can lead to increased costs, adverse publicity, low morale and removal from tender lists. By increasing our SHEQ. awareness, we hope to avoid this and create a positive working environment.
  
  To help achieve these goals, Infrastructures has a written SHEQ. Policies, a copy of which has been issued to all our staff. The person responsible for the organisation of SHEQ. matters on site is normally the Site Supervisor, Managing Director or Operations Director. Have you seen your Company's SHEQ. Policy?
  
  The SHEQ Policies contains the responsibilities, organisation and arrangements a company has in place for SHEQ issues. If you hold a position with specific SHEQ responsibilities, make yourself familiar with them.
