POLICY STATEMENTS: |
HEALTH
- It is the policy of Merrett Survey Partnership to eliminate or minimise the risk of ill health, disability or injury due to the potential dangers, hazards and working practices within the working environment.
- Health within the workplace, and the risk from disease associated with the work place is perhaps more difficult to regulate for Surveyors than many other professions because of the wide ranging locations and environments that surveyors are required to work in. Therefore MSP staff must remain vigilant and aware of potential risks.
- The potential risks affecting health within the working environment are assessed within each separate risk assessment and their associated procedures. Particular attention should also be paid to the risk assessment for ‘office’ in relation to occupational health matters.
- To promote the health of all of MSP’s employees and visitors, all premises under the control of MSP will be no smoking environments.
|
SAFETY
- To assess the risks to safety that our staff may be exposed to during their work, and to then develop, implement and monitor procedures that will eliminate or minimise the risks.
- It is Merrett Survey Partnership’s policy to keep the assessment of risk and the subsequent procedures to be followed, closely linked. This will enhance the understanding of the risk and the actions to be taken in order to eliminate or minimise the risk. Therefore the risk assessment, and health/safety procedures will be maintained as one document.
