To take action to eliminate or minimise health and safety risks by the use of appropriate control measures

To encourage the involvement of employee representation in health and
safety and the setting and maintenance of satisfactory standards

To develop safe systems of work which are practicable and appropriate to
the experience and training of the employees involved

To provide information, instruction, training and supervision to ensure that
employees understand our health and safety standards and their role in
achieving them
