Our Policy

Health & Safety – Environmental Policy Statement of intent

Office Cleaning Wales is committed to conducting its business in a way that protects the health and safety of its employees and the general public. It recognises the responsibility to protect the environment and minimise as far as reasonably practicable, any environmental impact of its activities.
Consistent with this Office Cleaning Wales will:

Provide leadership, direction and adequate resources to implement this policy.

Establish health, safety and environmental management arrangements which comply, as a minimum, with applicable legislation and associated standards.

Ensure health, safety and the environment,
are management responsibilities which rank equally with responsibilities for managing finance and other similar matters.

Support employees and sub-contractors in understanding and fulfilling their health, safety and environmental responsibilities.

Engage, involve consult employees and sub-contractors in the improvement of health, safety and environmental performance.

Require sub-contractors and suppliers to demonstrate an acceptable standard of health, safety and environmental performance.

Maintain effective systems to identify health, and environmental hazards, assess them and manage risks arising from all our activities.

Work with employees and sub-contractors, external bodies and enforcement authorities to minimise the health, safety and environmental risks associated with our operations.

Provide relevant information and necessary training to all employees in respect of risks to their health and safety, and the environment, which may arise out of their work or their work place.

Comply with the letter and spirit of UK health and safety, and environmental law, and where legislation does not exist, set standards reflecting best industry practice in comparable activities.

Reduce where reasonably practicable, consumption of energy and the production of waste.

Ensure that any health and safety or environmental incident is reported and appropriately investigated.

Measure and review our health, safety and environmental performance and audit our health, safety and environmental management arrangements as a means of planning continual improvement in health, safety and environmental performance.

Employees are aware that their support is vital to achieve the objectives of this health, safety and environmental policy, which will be reviewed as necessary. Neglect of health, safety and the environmental requirements will be taken seriously and could give rise to disciplinary action.

This policy will be reviewed as and when necessary but not less frequently than once in every 12 month period.

The responsibility for health, safety and the environment rests with the Managing Director.
