It is our policy and overall aim to educate each employee in safe working practices and through this education it is envisaged that the employees will work in a safe manner whether or not immediate supervision is present.

• Sufficient consultation, information, training and supervision to enable employees to carry out their work safely, without risk to themselves or others.

Our goal is to eliminate all accidents and potential hazards and reach an objective of zero injuries. Achieving this will require the full understanding of everyone in the organisation of their safety responsibilities and their commitment to fostering a proactive safety culture, based on a duty of care for oneself, ones co-workers and members of the public. The responsibility for safety in NColl Construction Ltd proceeds from the board of management through to each supervisor and on to each member of staff. It is the responsibility of management to ensure that all employees are motivated to comply with the safety policies and procedures and that they are made aware of those policies. Management must be kept fully informed of the impact that activities under its control have on safety policy and to take corrective action as appropriate. Equally all employees have a legal responsibility to co-operate in implementing the safety policies and standards as required by the safety management system.
