Company Procedures for Active Management of Health & Safety
Active Monitoring
The Active Monitoring carried out by the management of P.A.Hollingworth & Co Ltd is a measure of Health & Safety in the preventive area. Regular work place inspections are carried out by the Director of Safety and whilst constantly looking for the more obvious hazards, compliance with ever changing standards is also monitored and objectives for a safe and healthy working environment are planned before any accidents occur. In addition to the regular inspections, additional checks are also made whenever there are significant changes in the nature and or scale of company operations. These inspections also provide an opportunity to review the continuing effectiveness of the company’s Health & Safety Policy and to identify areas where revision of the H&S Policy, or any other company policy, may be necessary.
Reactive Monitoring
In addition to the Active Monitoring, P.A.Hollingworth & Co Ltd has a policy of Reactive Monitoring which looks at any accidents or dangerous occurrences/incidents and records how the occurred and how they were reported and investigated. Such information is then fed back to the Active preventative monitoring system.
