safety and welfare is a priority at all times. We believe that prevention is not only better, but cheaper than
cure. Profits and safety are not in

continual improvement in the management of health and safety can be achieved. Our
general intentions are:- ·

risks to employees and others arising from our work activities; ·

Health & Safety; ·
