INTRODUCTION
The Health, Safety and Environmental aim of POWER CONSTRUCTION. is to secure and maintain a high
standard of safety performance and environmental protection in all its undertakings and to require that
employees conduct their operations in the same spirit. Provision of OHSE Management is a line
responsibility and the roles/responsibilities of the personnel that are accountable for delivering the
necessary safety/integrity performance are clearly identified in the job descriptions, allocation of roles
and responsibilities for key positions.
This Occupational Health, Safety and Environmental Management plan has been prepared to
ensure that employees adopt safe working practices and comply with various statutory standards.
However, it must be assumed that the contents of this document embrace every contingency or
occupational/environmental hazard, and observance of the rules does not in itself relieve the
company or its employees of their legal obligation.
The aim of the company is therefore to:
□ Conduct its undertakings with a target of zero injuries to employees, sub
contractor employees or members of the public.
□ Set, encourage and maintain safe standards and seek continuous improvement
by regular review of performance.
□ Ensure that a system of identifying, assessing and adequately controlling
health safety and environmental risk is established and maintained.
□ Encourage employee involvement in the establishment of safe work practices
and a cleaner, quieter environment.
□ Ensure that suitable training, instruction and supervision is given to all employees
in the use of work equipment and materials and the correct disposal of waste.
□ Comply with safety, health and environmental requirements of law and act positively
to prevent injury, ill health, damage loss and environmental damage arising from its
operations.
□ Raise environmental awareness throughout the workforce.
□ Limit the production of waste by recycling wherever possible and to use only
licensed waste handlers for disposal.
□ Keep records of the production and disposal of controlled waste.
