Quentor Limited is committed to protecting the health and safety of our employees, customers and the global communities where we operate.
We recognise that by integrating Health and safety management practices into all aspects of our business, we can offer technologically innovative products and services while conserving and enhancing resources for future generations.
Quentor acknowledges that the key to successful health and safety management requires an effective policy, organisation and arrangements, which reflect the commitment of Senior Management. To sustain that commitment, we will continually measure, monitor and revise where necessary and annual plan to ensure that health and safety standards are adequate.
Quentor will implement the company’s health and safety policy and recommend changes to meet new circumstances. The instructions will then be carried out through the normal chain of management. Quentor recognises that successful health and safety management contributes to successful business performance and will allocate adequate finances and resources accordingly.
The management looks upon the promotion of health and safety measures as a mutual objective for themselves and their employees at all levels. It is therefore, the policy of the management to do all that is reasonably practicable to prevent personal injury and damage to property. Also the company aims to protect everyone, including all visitors and members of public, insofar as they come into contact with the company or its activities, from any foreseeable hazard or danger.
All employees have duties under the health and safety at work Act 1974 and they are informed of their personal responsibilities to take due care for the health and safety of themselves and to ensure that they do not endanger other persons by their acts or omissions. They are also informed that they must co-operate with the company in order that it can comply with the legal requirements placed upon it and in the implementation of this policy.
Quentor will ensure a systematic approach to identifying hazards, assessing the risk, determining suitable and sufficient control measures and informing all employees of the correct procedures.
Quentor will provide, so far as reasonably practicable, safe places and systems of work, safe plant and machinery, safe handling of materials and substances, the provision of adequate safety equipment and ensure that appropriate information, instruction and training and supervision is given.
Quentor regards all health and safety legislation as the minimum standard and expects management to achieve their managerial targets without compromising health and safety.
