POLICY STATEMENT

RF Global Solutions views health and safety as a priority issue which plays an integral part in all its activities including the maintenance of quality and standards.

RF Global Solutions considers health and safety as a management responsibility, which is at least as important as any other function. It is therefore the policy of RF Global Solutions to provide and maintain in a working and educational environment, which is, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risk to health, adequate as regards welfare facilities and which ensures that persons not in RF Global Solutions employment are not exposed to risks which may arise from RF Global Solutions activities.

RF Global Solutions is resolved to provide and maintain equipment and systems of work, which are, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and will provide such information, training and supervision as in necessary to achieve this aim.

RF Global Solutions will provide such resources as may be necessary to enable it and its employees to meet their health and safety responsibilities.

In order to implement this policy the commitment of everyone concerned is necessary and it is a condition of employment that all employees will co-operate with RF Global Solutions by

  • Following instructions in the safety rules or notices displayed on RF Global Solutions property
  • Complying with any codes of practice or guidance which may apply to their work or workplace
  • Taking all reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and of all other persons who may be affected by their acts or omissions at work.

RF Global Solutions stresses its commitment to health and safety to the extent that where disregard of safe working practice by an employee puts seriously at risk the health and safety of themselves or of any other person, this will be considered as gross misconduct and may lead to disciplinary action including dismissal.
