Health & Safety

Policy Statement

The Chairman and Directors of Barr Limited recognise the fact that health and safety has positive benefits to the Company and a commitment to a high level of safety makes sound business sense. We accept that an active and practical leadership in respect of health and safety matters is a business function and that a concerted approach must be adopted to continually progress and adapt to changes.

Barr Limited values the contribution made by its employees and seeks to conduct its activities in a manner that is committed to their health, safety and well being. It is the policy of the Company to ensure, as far as is reasonably practicable, the provision and maintenance of:

• Safe and healthy working conditions, equipment and systems of work for all employees
• Such resources, information, training and supervision as are needed for these purposes
• A health and safety ethos that is fully integrated into the management and decision-making process within the organisation.
  

Barr Limited also accepts its responsibilities for the health and safety of other people who may be affected by its activities.

To this end, Barr Limited will comply with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work, etc. Act 1974, all other relevant statutory provisions and recognised Codes of Practice. The standards that will be adopted are those required by Law, although the Company will seek always to exceed these where there is a demonstrable benefit. The Company recognises that safety is the responsibility of everyone within the organisation and is not just a function of management.

Contractors and their employees will be required to comply with the policy and other relevant statutory requirements when on company premises, sites or carrying out work for the Company.
