Corporate Social Responsibility
Health, Safety, Welfare and Security at Work
The health, safety, welfare and security of
employees and others who may be affected by the activities of Scott
Wilson are of prime importance, and essential to the efficient
operation of its worldwide undertakings. Whilst our health and
safety management systems are based on the requirements of the UK
Health and Safety at Work Act (1974) and the Management of Health
& Safety at Work Regulations (1999), Scott Wilson is committed
to compliance with the legislative requirements of all countries
where it operates.
Health, safety, welfare and security at work
are matters that concern all levels of management. Through regular
management reviews and the provision of risk assessments, safe
systems of work, and by giving adequate instruction, information,
training and supervision as appropriate, Scott Wilson will seek
to:
- Ensure that health, safety, welfare and security policy is
pursued throughout the organisation
- Deliver designs and services that will have regard to health
and safety throughout the project life cycle
- Take reasonably practicable measures to ensure the provision of
a safe, healthy and secure working environment for all
employees
- Take reasonably practicable measures to ensure due
consideration is given to the health and safety of others who may
be affected by its acts or omissions in the conduct of its
business
- Continually improve our health and safety management systems
and procedures
Whilst designated managers are tasked with
specific responsibilities, maintaining a safe, healthy and secure
working environment requires assistance from all staff.
Scott Wilson expects each employee to:
- Co-operate in implementing health, safety, welfare and security
policy
- Comply with the relevant health and safety legislation and
standards in all countries where they are working
- Exercise reasonable care both for their own health and safety
and for that of others who may be affected by their acts or
omissions
- Take all reasonable precautions for their own security as
required by local conditions
The Main Board of Scott Wilson takes an active
interest in health, safety, welfare and security at work and has
assigned Hugh Blackwood as the responsible Main Board member to
ensure that the policy is implemented, reported upon and reviewed
annually.
