The
E-ING Tech recognises that a high level of commitment to health and safety has benefits to the organisation and makes good business sense. The scope of this policy includes the occupational health of all our staff as well as their safety at work. The
E-ING Tech views health and safety as a
core function that must continually progress and adapt to changes. The approach is based on the assessment of health and safety through the implementation and maintenance of a robust health and safety management system.
The E-ING Tech regards health and safety as the responsibility of everyone within the organisation but recognises that Executive Members have specific duties and responsibilities to comply with the letter and spirit of this policy. Appropriate levels of resources allocated to support health and safety and a positive culture is encouraged through the active support and involvement of staff in the decision making process, either on an individual basis, or through their representatives. Adequate, monitoring and reviewing of the implementation of the health and safety policy is undertaken with the aim of continual improvement.
