Consultation with Employees

1. Principal Arrangements for Health and Safety Management 

1.1 Health and Safety Assistance 

As required under The Management of Health and Safety Regulations 1992, the following have been appointed as 'competent persons' in respect of health and safety:- 

1.2 Consultation with Employees 

The Group will ensure that procedures are in place to consult with employees and provide information on matters of health and safety. Employee-elected safety Representatives will be given training and allowed the use of Group resources, including reasonable time to carry out their role during their normal working hours. 

Employee-elected representatives within Blitz Rigging shall hold office for a period of 2 years unless they wish to resign at an earlier date. In the event of a resignation the departments concerned will elect a replacement representative. Formal meetings between representatives and management will be held quarterly in March, June, September and December when health and safety matters in need of discussion will be included on the agenda. 

· Duty To Consult And Provide Information 

Regulations held by management at each site identify matters on which employees or their representatives must be consulted. Managers and Safety Representatives are to familiarise themselves with these details. Employee Representatives will be introduced to these Regulations during company training. 

1.3 Guidelines For Raising Matters Regarding Health And Safety 

The procedures to be applied in dealing with health and safety matters locally are: 

1. Individual employees are to raise matters of safety that they consider relevant to themselves with their immediate supervisors who will quickly settle such matters as far as they are able to within the scope of their authority. 

2. Individuals not satisfied with the action taken under (1) are to refer the matter to their Safety Representative who will take the matter up with the department/function mangers on behalf of the individual concerned. In situations where there are no elected representatives the individual will need to take the matter up directly with their manger. 

3. Should a Safety Representative be dissatisfied with the action taken under (2), or if they consider the matter reported has wider implications, a matter may be placed on the agenda of the next Health and Safety or staff meeting. 

4. Notwithstanding the above procedure, which is to be followed wherever possible, matters serious enough to require immediate attention of the Group Safety Officer may be raised by an employee at any time and dealt with as appropriate. It is to be remembered, however, that line management must be given every opportunity to deal with health and safety problems. 

5. Where Safety Representatives wish to carry out workplace inspections, they are to arrange the timing of these with the line manager responsible for each area to be inspected. On completion of an inspection, the relevant Representatives and managers shall agree any actions necessary to improve health and safety and produce a written record to this effect. Representatives should then report back to the employees they represent and, if necessary, report to the next Health and Safety or staff meeting. 

Department Managers and Safety Representatives are to consult at 3 monthly intervals regarding any general safety topics within the department. These meetings may be conducted on an informal basis but one of the parties involved shall take written notes of what was discussed and what action can be expected. Health and Safety matters requiring immediate action are dealt with in item (4) of the above Guidelines For Raising Matters Regarding Health and Safety. 

Safety Representatives are to provide written hazard reports on all cases where they consider there is a need remedial action by the company. Managers are to record the action taken (or to be taken) prior to returning the report to the Representative concerned. The Representative may then consider the decision with the manager before reporting back to those represented. A copy of the endorsed report is to be forwarded to the Group Safety Officer for information in order that he may keep the Health and Safety Management Committee informed of all risk controls being implemented throughout the Group. 

1.4 Health And Safety Essentials 

In the design and selection of plant/equipment, storage facilities, vehicles, engineering and laboratory equipment, protective clothing and anything else used in work activities, the suitability of such plant, equipment and structures for safe operation and use is of prime consideration. 

Design, operating and general behavioral rules are set out in operating instructions, safe works procedures manuals or posted on notice boards as appropriate for the many activities conducted. These rules cover statutory, company and specific local requirements and industry best practice. 

It is essential that all employees are aware of the general and specific rules that apply to their job. By the issue and up-dating of such rules, training and practice in the requirements management aims to ensure that no failure in compliance will occur through lack of knowledge. The specific rules which refer to work activities are contained in the following documents:- 

· Relevant legislation and statutory instruments (available through Safety Officer). 

· Codes of practice/regulations and HSE guidance (available through Safety Officer). 

· Manufacturers' instructional manuals. 

· Subsidiary Company or Group Safe Working Procedures. 

· Subsidiary Quality Manuals. 

· Plant and 'site' operational and maintenance manuals. 

· Risk Assessments as recorded by all departments. 

· Industry best practice standards. 

1.5 Employee Involvement 

Every employee has a general statutory duty to take reasonable care for the safety and health of themselves and others who may be affected by their acts or omissions, and to co-operate with their employer, so far as is necessary, to enable the latter to fulfil the statutory obligations. 

The successful implementation of the Health and Safety Management Policy depends on the active support and co-operation of all employees to an extent that goes beyond the statutory requirement. Arrangements to create a climate that ensures the continuing involvement and co-operation of all employees are detailed later throughout this document. It is essential that all employees perform their work diligently and well, and that in doing so they: comply with the issued rules and work permits; use and not misuse anything provided in the interests of safety and health; and report to the appropriate manager any occurrence or defect which appears to present a risk to safety or health. 

Employees are reminded that contravention of health and safety legislation is a criminal offence that could result in prosecution of individual employees as well as or instead of the Company. 

1.6 Health And Safety – Good Practice
