- support employees and contractors in understanding and fulfilling
their health and safety responsibilities

of health and safety performance
- require contractors and suppliers to demonstrate an acceptable standard
of health and safety performance
- maintain effective systems to identify health and safety, assess them
and manage risks arising from all our activities
- work with employees, contractors, external bodies and enforcement
authorities to minimise the health and safety risks associated with
our operations
- provide relevant information, training and supervision to all employees
in respect of risks to their health and safety, which may arise out
of their work or their work place

and where legislation does not exist, set standards reflecting best
industry practice in comparable activities

of themselves and others when at work, and that their support is vital
to achieve the objectives of this Health and Safety Policy. Neglect of
health and safety requirements will be taken seriously and could give
rise to disciplinary action.
Assistance and advice on all health and safety issues is provided by
AP Health & Safety Management as required.
This policy will be reviewed as and when necessary but not less frequently
than annually.
Ultimate responsibility for health and safety within The Andrews Partnership
and affiliated Companies, lies with K Dougall Esq, Senior Partner.
