Health & Safety Policy

It is the policy of RTS to provide products and services that satisfy the Clients´ requirements within a safe working environment.

 

In so doing, RTS ensures compliance with the requirements of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and associated legislation.  RTS recognises and fully accepts its responsibilities concerned with ensuring the health and safety of its employees, customers, suppliers, visitors and members of the public.

 

As far as is reasonably practicable, it is the policy to:

 

·         provide and maintain plant, equipment, systems and a working environment (including on-the-road activities) which are safe and without risk to health

·         protect all employees from exposure to hazards by providing appropriate controls, protective equipment and training

·         continuously monitor health and safety performance to determine the effectiveness and to ensure it meets the standards and expectations set by the Company

·         seek continuous improvement in health and safety performance by undertaking a continuous review of its activities

·         encourage and promote employee participation in developing health and safety standards

 

RTS recognises that health and safety is a managerial responsibility of equal importance to all other activities undertaken by the Company.  Directors, Senior Managers and Line Managers ensure that the Company policy and appropriate management systems are known, understood, implemented and adhered to by all employees under their control.

 

RTS ensures that all personnel are provided with relevant health and safety training.  This is initially achieved through the induction of all new employees followed by specific training to suit their working environment.  Training requirements are continuously monitored to identify additional needs.

 

Employees are expected to co-operate and play an integral role with regards to health and safety.  Every employee must take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and anyone affected by their acts or omissions.
