Health & Safety.

It is the policy of Eclipse Coatings Ltd to comply with the terms of the Health and Safety etc Act 1974 and its related legislation to provide and maintain healthy and safe working environments.

The company’s health and safety objectives are to minimize the number of occupational accidents and illnesses and ultimately to achieve an accident-free workplace.

All employees will be provided with such equipment, information, instruction, training, and supervision as is necessary to implement the policy and achieve its stated objective.

The companies recognize and accept their duty to protect the health and safety of all visitors to the company, including contractors and temporary employees, as well as any members of the public who may be affected by the company’s activities or operations.

While the management of the company will do all that is within its powers to ensure the health and safety of its employees, it is recognized that health and safety at work is the responsibility of each and every individual associated with the company. It is the duty of each employee to take reasonable care of their own and other people’s welfare and to report any situation which may pose a threat to the well-being of any other person.

The management of the company will provide every employee with the training necessary to carry out their tasks safely. However, if an employee is unsure how to perform a certain task or feels it would be dangerous to perform a specific job then it is the employee’s duty to report this to their supervisor, operations manager, or director of safety. An effective health and safety program requires continuous communication between the employees at all levels. It is therefore every employee’s responsibility to report immediately any situation which could jeopardize the well-being of themselves or any other person.

All injuries, however small, sustained by a person at work must be reported to the director f safety or a delegated representative. Accident records are crucial to the effective monitoring and revision of the policy and therefore need to be accurate and comprehensive.

The company’s health and safety policy will be continually monitored and updated particularly when changes in the scale and the nature of our operations occur. The policy will be reviewed and updated every 12 months unless legislative changes necessitate more frequent changes.

The specific arrangements for the implementation of this policy, the personel responsible, and the individual responsibilities of employees are detailed in the following pages.
