Health & Safety

Atlas Road Technology B.V. (ART) is committed to a policy of effectively managing all aspects of health, safety and welfare. This commitment extends to all workplaces, employees and others affected by our operations.

ART recognises that achieving high standards of health and safety is an integral part of business performance. Whilst all statutory provisions will be complied with as a minimum, the Company will take all reasonably practicable measures to ensure continual improvement in health and safety standards by setting appropriate objectives and targets. This will be in the form of an annual health safety and sustainability action plans, which will be continually reviewed throughout the year and added to as necessary.

The ART Board accepts that it has the overall responsibility for health, safety and welfare of its employees and contractors in addition to all and any visitors to our sites and operations.  The ART Board will ensure that such resources, facilities, finances, information, instruction, training and supervision are provided, as is necessary, to minimise the risk of injury or ill health and to maintain a positive health and safety culture and performance throughout the ART Business.

ART management at each Project is responsible for the implementation of this Policy and for ensuring risks to the health and safety of all persons are assessed and safe systems of work devised in line with the ART Health, Safety and Sustainability Management Systems (under construction). Health and safety responsibilities have been defined for all ART personnel and are contained within the Company’s ‘Organisation and Arrangements’  (under construction) document.

ART is also committed to ensuring that the behaviour of our people, at all levels, is consistent with an improving safety culture. Our vision is to create and maintain an environment where care for our people, and those who work with us, is our top priority; where the belief that all accidents are preventable prevails.

All employees and contractors are expected to co-operate with ART in the implementation of this Policy and the supporting Health, Safety and Sustainability Management Systems. They will ensure that their own work, so far as is reasonably practicable, is carried out with minimum risk to themselves or others. Consultation with staff and operatives will be structured to ensure feedback is encouraged to continually improve safe systems of work and prevention of ill-health.

This ART Policy Statement (under construction)  will be issued to all employees, and be available on request to all interested parties. The organisation and arrangements for implementation of the Policy will also be available on the Intranet and at all workplaces for reference by any employee as required.

The Health and Safety Policy is continually being monitored and developed and will be formally reviewed annually, though on exception, amendments may be implemented at other times as required by legislative changes or work practices.
