Statement of Intent
Our Policy is to provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions, equipment
and systems of work for all our employees and volunteers, and to provide such
information, training and supervision as they need for this purpose. We also accept
our responsibility for the health and safety of other people who may be affected by
our activities.
The allocation of duties for safety matters and the particular arrangements, which we
will make to implement the policy, are set out below.
The policy will be kept up to date, particularly as Compaid changes in nature and size
to ensure our responsibilities are met in relation to:
- 1.3.1 Health & Safety at Work Act (1974)
- 1.3.2 Management Regulations (1999)
- 1.3.3 Other relevant current legislation.
To ensure this, the policy and the way in which it has operated, will be reviewed
every year.
Responsibilities
Overall and final responsibility for health and safety at Compaid is that of the
Compaid Board of Trustees.
The Chief Executive, in conjunction with the Health & Safety Officers is responsible
for this policy being carried out at all Compaid offices and for ensuring the
preparation, implementation and review of risk assessments and safe work practices.
The Health & Safety Officers and Line Managers are responsible for bringing to the
attention of the Chief Executive any deficiencies in safety arrangements.
Read our full policy:
This policy will be reviewed every year as shown in paragraph 1.4, and amended as
necessary, or earlier in accordance with forthcoming legislation.
