Health & Safety
FIRSTOPTION is committed to maintaining a safe, healthy and sustainable environment wherever we operate. Today, technological progress and intense competitive pressures bring rapid change in working conditions, work processes, and organization.Legislation is essential but insufficient on its own to address these changes or to keep pace with new hazards and risks. FIRSTOPTION must be able to tackle occupational safety and health challenges continuously and to build effective responses to the changing world of work. Our policy standard will support this effort and sets out the framework within which FIRSTOPTION will manage occupational health and safety.
Within FIRST OPTION the management of health and safety is about creating a culture dedicated to eliminating near misses, accidents at work and work-related ill health. Implicit in this is a high level of health and safety awareness.
The primary focus for health and safety rests with the business unit concerned, ensuring that all health and safety issues are identified and satisfactorily managed. This policy standard includes details on the standards required for effective health and safety management systems and where necessary working to our customers' systems.
All staffs have both moral and legal duty to look after the health and safety of themselves, fellow employees and everyone with whom they come into contact.
