Our policies, standards and other resources

We have more in-depth Group policies and standards covering different aspects of safety and health. You can find links to them here.

In addition, there may be specific policies and procedures that apply where you work. Your manager can tell you about these. If you are unsure then always ask your manager.

If you're a manager

You have a huge part to play in keeping your people safe from harm. That includes making everyone realise that the rules are important and everyone must follow them.
It means complying with health and safety policy, standards, procedures and key controls and developing local operating procedures/work instructions/method statements for particular tasks.
Identify risks and hazards, both physical and psychosocial, associated with your work activities and ensure they are communicated to those who may be affected.
Ensure local controls are in place for health and safety risks to be effectively managed including clearly defined role and responsibilities.
Always make sure colleagues and sub-contractors have the necessary knowledge, training, and experience to undertake their role. Maintain appropriate records of this so you know who is - and isn’t - properly qualified for what task.
Provide oversight and report health and safety performance.
Promote a positive and just health and safety culture, where health and safety performance is continually improved and leaders lead by example.
Provide effective mechanisms for colleagues and third-parties to raise health and safety concerns.
Implement processes and plans to manage health and safety incidents.
Record all health and safety incidents on Assure and investigate them in accordance with Group procedures.
