HEALTH AND SAFETY      SOME WINDOW CLEANERS THINK THEY ARE SPIDERMAN

JUST SAY NO TO ROGUE WINDOW CLEANER'S. 

The object of this Safety Policy is to provide the framework around which a
safe and healthy working environment can be maintained.

It is the policy of CleanGlass to place great importance on the health and safety
of its employees. We consider the health and safety of employees to be a management function equal to that of any other responsability. 

We recognise and accept responsibility as an employer for providing a safe and healthy working environment on the premises under our direct control.

It is our policy to liaise and co-operate with our clients to provide CleanGlass employees a safe and healthy working environment whilst on their premises.

CleanGlass recognises and accepts its obligations to ensure that other parties are not adversely affected by our activities.

We will take steps, so far as is reasonably practicable, to meet our health and safety responsibilities, paying particular attention to:

• The safe provision and maintenance of equipment, machinery and system of work.

• Safe arrangements for the use handling and storage and transportation of equipment and materials.

• Provision of sufficient information, instruction, training and supervision to enable our employees to avoid hazards and contribute positively to their own and others health and safety at work.

• Revise and review our health and safety policy to incorporate any new legislation.

A safety policy is unlikely to be successful unless it actively involves the people who work within the company. We will therefore seek to ensure effective consultation and communication to all employees.

Equally it is the duty of all employees to work in accordance with our health and safety policy and as such must accept and carry out their responsibilities to:

• Act with due care to prevent injury to themselves and others

• Report all accidents, damaged or faulty equipment and potential hazards to their line supervisor and site contact.

• Follow all agreed working practices and procedures, including the correct use of safety equipment and protective clothing.

It is the duty of each employee who is required to operate equipment or use substances with which they are unfamiliar to make this fact known to their supervisor so that the appropriate training can be given.

It is essential that the principles set out in this health and safety policy be faithfully applied by all CleanGlass staff so that accidents and any resultant suffering or loss can be avoided.
