Safety

There is a strong commitment within our organisation to the prevention of risk, accidents and ill health, and the promotion of a safe working environment. These are important operational management functions, which are supported by a competent Health and Safety Consultant operating as an integral part of our managerial structure. The policy objectives are founded on legal requirements, and include:

… the implementation of appropriate organisational structures in managing Health and Safety, with a clear definition of duties and responsibilities for all employees;

… the promotion of a Health and Safety culture, achieved by ensuring effective representation of, and participation by, all employees;

… mechanisms and systems to ensure progressive improvement of Health and Safety for all workers employed by the Unit Group;

… and effective liaison and collaboration with the regulatory authorities’ standard-setting bodies, professional institutions, and trade associations.

Our general safety principles include – but are not limited to – raising workplace standards and the awareness of Health and Safety among directors, managers and other employees of the Company, together with the enhancement of the important role of employee representation in managing Health and Safety.

We are proud to have been the recipients of the ECIA Safety Award in both 2004 and 2005.
