Health & SafetyCompliance with health and safety requirementsLegislationThe Health and Safety at Work Act: 1974 is the primary legislation covering occupational health and safety in the UK, supplemented by many regulations that cover a wide range of subjects and activities including the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999. GeoloGIS aims to comply with all applicable legal and other requirements that relate to the occupational health and safety risks associated with our activities. Health and Safety general policyResponsibility for health and safety lies with the Director of GeoloGIS Ltd; e will: • provide adequate control of the health and safety risks arising from our work activities Risk assessments will be made in advance of specific activities to ensure that any action required to remove or control risk is identified and carried out. Geological investigation commonly involves working in remote, hilly or mountainous country in changeable weather conditions; information and advice as to best practice in such circumstances can be found in a number of publications including the British Mountaineering Council guide Safety on Mountains. We may also expect to examine exposures in potentially dangerous locations such as quarries or construction sites, in which case the owner/manager of the site will be consulted in advance regarding safe working practices and appropriate precautions taken. This policy is reviewed annually as part of our management review |
