Policy

The Builder is committed to the health, safety and welfare of its employees and subcontractors.

The company acknowledges its responsibilities to ensure that the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 and accompanying Regulations and Codes of Compliance are attained to the highest standards and that risks are controlled as far as is reasonably practicable.

In order to meet its responsibilities the company may at times rely upon the use of Personal Protective Equipment to control risks that are identified in the workplace.

The company is committed to the use of controls that are placed higher in the hierarchy of controls and accepts that where practicable, personal protective equipment will only be used until such time as more effective controls can be identified and become reasonably available and attainable.

Where the Builder provides Personal Protective Equipment for its employees to use, or where this equipment is provided by sub-contractors, employees and subcontractors are expected to use and maintain this equipment in working condition. Employees and subcontractors failing to meet this responsibility can be subjected to disciplinary action, including termination.
