Health and Safety Policy

The health, safety and wellbeing of our employees and everyone else affected by our activities is fundamental to the success of our business. At EMEDCO, we believe that our long-term success as a business is dependent upon the ability to keep our workforce, our business partners, our suppliers, our subcontractors and members of the public safe. Nothing that we do is so important that it cannot be done safely.

Our policy is to create an environment in which no one is harmed. We will achieve this by:

• Providing strong and inspirational leadership.
• Pursuing every opportunity to eliminate hazards by designing in safety and health.
• Identifying the hazards associated with our activities and removing the risk, where reasonably practicable.
• Applying the hierarchy of controls, establishing robust arrangements for the management of risks that remain.
• Providing sufficient resources for the management of health and safety including setting and monitoring objectives for continual improvement.
• Communicating and engaging with our workforce, our business partners, our suppliers and our subcontractors to ensure everyone understands how to keep themselves and others safe and healthy.

Our approach to managing health and safety is set out in the EMEDCO Zero Harm Action Plan and Strategy.

The Board of EMEDCO is responsible for establishing the overall Health and Safety Policy for the Group and for reviewing regularly the performance.

Our Management is responsible for:

• Providing visible Leadership for health and safety.
• Ensuring that effective arrangements to deliver these requirements are established and implemented across the operations of the business.
• Providing an effective process of assurance.
• Ensuring compliance with all Group and legal requirements.

It is the responsibility of every individual in the business to:

• Perform their job in a safe manner, Make Safety Personal and look out for themselves and their colleagues.
• Be fit for work.
• Stop work and seek guidance if anything changes or they believe what they are doing in unsafe.
• Report all unsafe events or conditions they see.
• Always receive a briefing before starting work.
• Comply with all health and safety requirements.
• Contribute ideas to help continually improve the effectiveness of health and safety risk management.
• Help create a Zero Harm culture.

We will bring the policy to the attention of our employees, supply chain partners and relevant interested parties; and review it on an annual basis.
