Health and Safety
It is the policy of Meon Valley Crane Hire to develop a positive Health & Safety culture throughout the Company because it is believed that high Health & Safety standards are a pre-requisite in the pursuit of company efficiency and safety to all concerned.
To achieve this the Company will progressively identify all workplace hazards and take appropriate measures to eliminate or control risks to employees and others affected by operations by applying positive control standards and provision of information, training and supervision as needed.
Employees are reminded that they have a duty to ensure the Company's Health & Safety policy is observed and in particular they are required:
- To take reasonable care for their own health and safety at work and of those who may be affected by their actions or their omissions
- To co-operate with the employer to ensure that any duty or requirement for health and safety imposed upon their employer by law is performed or complied with.
- Not to intentionally, or recklessly interfere with or misuse anything provided in the interests of health, safety and welfare.
- To report to supervisory staff hazardous conditions or defects in the company safety arrangements.
