Purpose
Hudor Cleaning Services is committed to providing, so far as is reasonably practicable, for the health, safety and welfare of all staff, workers, contractors, volunteers, customers and visitors to a workplace. This commitment extends to ensuring that our operations and activities do not place members of the public, the local community or environment to risk of harm, injury, illness or damage.
Scope
We recognise our moral and legal responsibility to provide a safe and healthy work environment in our workplaces for all persons, and that the safety and well-being of persons includes the psychological and psychosocial aspects of the individual.
‘Occupational Health and Safety’ is to be interpreted as ‘Work Health and Safety’.
Aims and Objectives
We will adopt procedures
- to eliminate risks to health, safety and well-being so far as is reasonably practicable, and
- if it is not reasonably practicable to eliminate risks to health, safety and well-being, to minimise or reduce those risks so far as is reasonably practicable.
To achieve this, we will, so far as is reasonably practicable:
- provide and maintain healthy and safe workplaces, safe plant and safe systems of work
- provide written procedures and instructions to ensure safe work practices
- identify potential risks associated with our operations and establish procedures to remove or minimise the likelihood of an accident occurring
- ensure compliance with all relevant Acts, Regulations, Codes and Standards
- ensure that all staff comply with their health and safety duties, procedures and obligations
- provide such information, instruction, training and supervision to workers, contractors and other persons as is necessary to ensure their continued health and safety;
- ensure that the company and its employees apply Health, Safety and Environmental standards to their work, which are fully compatible with the client’s policy and procedures
- provide support and assistance to workers and involve them in consultation on safety issues;
- ensure that all employees and contractors comply with “Public Liability Procedures” and;
- ensure that workers and other people are not exposed to psychological health and safety risks arising from the business or undertaking.
Responsibilities
The company, as the person conducting a business or undertaking, has the primary duty of care under the Act, and as such must ensure the health, safety and welfare of workers and other persons who may be affected by our operations, products, services and activities.
Management of the company must exercise due diligence to ensure that the staff complies with its WHS duties.
Staff must take reasonable care for their own health and safety and for the health and safety of other persons, and comply with any reasonable instruction or policy given by the company to enable it to comply with the Work Health and Safety Act.
Breach of this policy may be regarded as misconduct, leading to disciplinary action, which may result in termination of employment or engagement. An individual may also be exposed to criminal or civil liability for a breach of relevant legislation.
