We recognise that our activities have an impact on the environment and we seek to minimise this by fully implementing the Fourway Construction policy statement alongside our commitment to continual improvement.
The main environment issues affecting our business concern sustainability, waste generation, noise, dust and energy consumption. We will address these issues by implementing the following actions:
- Compliance with environmental legislation, contract conditions and any other specific stakeholder requirements.
- Minimising the impact of our works on the public by adopting work practices that reduce disturbance disrupting and prevent pollution.
- Training our staff so that they develop a better awareness and understanding of environmental matters.
- Reducing waste, and whatever practical, separating recyclable materials from other forms of waste.
- Insist upon the active involvement of our suppliers and sub-contractors in the implementation of our policy objectives.
- Regular monitoring of our environmental performance which enables the setting and review of environmental objectives and targets.
The health, safety and welfare of employees is of fundamental importance to the Company and is essential to the efficient operation of its undertaking.
The responsibility for safety at work rests upon all areas of management. The Company will ensure that this policy is followed throughout the organisation. The Company will take all reasonable practical precautions to ensure the health, safety and welfare at work of its employees by providing:
- Safe clean working environment by the design, construction, operation and maintenance of all plant, equipment and facilities.
- Safe systems of work.
- Adequate instruction, information, training and supervision.
- Control of all situations likely to cause damage to property and equipment.
- Effective facilities for the treatment of injuries which occur at work.
- Adequate means and facilities for consultation between management and employees.
- The Company expects employees to conform to this policy and to comply with the relevant sections of the ÔHealth and Safety at Work Act 1974 'and to exercise all reasonable care for their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their acts and omissions'.
- The Company appreciates the responsibilities it has to its employees and others who may be involved with the operations of the Company and gives its full support to this policy and to the Company Safety Advisor whose function is to monitor, operate and enforce it.
