It is this Company’s intention that its work will be carried out in accordance with the relevant statutory provisions and all reasonably practicable measures taken to avoid risk to its employees or others who may be affected.

Mrs E. Langdon has the responsibility for implementing this Policy throughout Somerset Equus and must ensure that health and safety considerations are always given priority in planning and day-to-day supervision of work.

All employees and sub-contractors are expected to co-operate with Somerset Equus in carrying out this Policy and must ensure that their own work, so far as is reasonably practicable, is carried out without risk to themselves or others.

Mrs E. Langdon has the responsibility for health, safety and welfare, and to whom reference should be made in the event of any difficulty arising in the implementation of this Policy.

The operation of this policy will be monitored by the management and staff of Somerset Equus. To assist them in this respect, they have appointed a Safety Advisor to visit sites and workplaces if required and to give advice on the requirements of the relevant statutory provisions and safety matters generally.

The Safety Advisor is Mrs. K Speed of C2 Safety.

A Statement of Company Policy will be displayed prominently at all sites and workplaces.

The organisation and arrangements for implementing the Policy will also be available at each site and workplace for reference by any employee as required.
