Safety Statement – What is it For?
It is to comply with the Company's legal requirements to inform all Company employees and any other interested parties of the safety matters arising from the business and how they are dealt with.
But, equally, it is for you to use, to remind you of your own responsibilities, to show where you fit it, to remind you to co-operate fully with safety measures, to be active, not passive. If you see something dangerous - don't ignore it, let someone in authority know. Remember, it is the actions of people (like you and me), which are the cause of injury and illness to others and ourselves.
It is to remind you to THINK BEFORE YOU ACT.
