It is the policy of Anglewest Ltd that all reasonably practicable steps will be taken to provide safe and healthy working conditions, and that the health, safety and welfare of employees, contractors, suppliers and members of the general public are to be protected at all times.

See our Environmental Policy here

Management, supervisory staff and any other employee who authorises work to be carried out at any time, are responsible for ensuring that adequate health, safety and welfare facilities are made available and implemented.

The Health & Safety at Work Act 1974 and all relevant Regulations are to be complied with at all times and all employees should contribute towards making work areas as safe as possible by continually appraising working practices and ensuring that the safest possible methods are adopted.

All employees and contractors are expected to provide and maintain safe work places and working environments, safe systems and methods of work, without risks to themselves or others and to promote high standards of health, safety and welfare.

The company's Safety Manager will monitor the operation of the Policy.

Instruction and information on health, safety and welfare matters are contained in the company's Health & Safety manual. Each department and site officer must retain a copy of the manual for the information of those who work on company premises and sites.

The Directors of Anglewest Ltd have approved this policy. The Directors have been appointed to have responsibility for health, safety and welfare and reference should be made to them in the event of any difficulty arising in the implementation of this Policy. It is the duty of everyone to adhere strictly to the Policy at all times.

	Complying with our legal responsibilities and playing our part in influencing future legislation.
	Conserving the use of resources, particularly those which are scarce or non renewable.

	to preserve, restore and enhance the built and natural heritage;
	to encourage the sustainable use of land based resources and certified timber and wood products, e.g. non-sustainable resources - peat, tropical hardwoods;
	to reduce air, land and water pollution, e.g. toxic chemical sprays, motor exhaust etc.
	Being sensitive to the environmental concerns of our neighbours and the communities through which we operate and respond to them.
	Adopting environmental objectives to continually improve our environmental performance and monitor progress in their achievement.
	Requiring our suppliers and contractors to have proper regard for our Environmental Policy for the goods and services they provide for us.
