Health & Safety - back to home

USP Creative Limited are committed to a policy that safeguards the health, safety and welfare of all its employees, customers and others who have contact with the Agency by providing healthy and safe working conditions.

Our Objectives

To promote standards of health, safety and welfare that comply with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and all other relevant statutory provisions and codes of practice.
To provide and maintain safe and healthy working conditions, equipment and systems of work for our employees and others visiting the Agency, and to provide such information, training and supervision as they need for this purpose.
To provide opportunities for safety representatives to contribute to the promotion of a healthy and safe working environment.
To provide a safe means of access and egress to all places of work.
To provide an effective basis for monitoring all internal health and safety arrangements.

In the pursuit of these objectives the Agency expects all staff to co-operate and give support in creating and maintaining safe and healthy working conditions.

Our Organisation

Overall responsibility for health and safety rests with the Directors.

Implementation of The Policy

Health and safety is a responsibility for everyone at all levels. An appointed Health and Safety Officer provides help to all Directors, Managers and employees by providing information and guidance in applying the provisions of health and safety law.

To achieve a good standard of health and safety in the workplace all employees must take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and of colleagues or others who may be affected by their actions. They should co-operate with management in all matters relating to their health, safety and welfare and develop a personal concern for accident prevention.

Our Arrangements

USP Creative will provide training for managers and staff appropriate to their responsibilities and the work, which they do. Significant hazards and risks, which might affect the health and safety of the staff and visitors will be assessed and recorded, and appropriate action will be taken to control, eliminate or reduce any risks. Regular monitoring is carried out by the designated Health and Safety Officer to assess risks to staff in their own areas of responsibility. The Health and Safety Officer will conduct safety audits from time to time to monitor the effectiveness of the policy.

Conclusion

A ‘safety culture’ within USP Creative can be promoted most effectively if the pursuit of health and safety is accepted as an objective shared by us all. The provision of a quality service to our customers should be linked to the safety process so the two go together as a positive ‘quality and safety culture’. We must take a positive interest in our health and safety and exercise a common duty of care to others.

We must be alert to draw attention to anything we encounter at work, which could be a threat to the health and safety of ourselves, our colleagues or our customers and others. We also have a special duty of care to those who may have particular requirements through, for example, disability or inexperience.
