Corporate Policy - Health & Safety

Landfill Gas and Power firmly believes that the health and safety of its employees and contractors is of primary importance in the successful conduct of its business activities. Landfill Gas and Power recognises its legal and moral responsibility to provide a safe working environment, safe systems of work, competent supervision of all employees, and a commitment to conduct its operations in a manner that will not cause people to be hurt, nor place their health at risk.

HEALTH & SAFETY OBJECTIVES

Zero lost time injury frequency rate is a key management objective, which will be pursued with similar vigour to other management objectives. The benefits to be gained from successful health and safety programmes are significant in both human and monetary terms and justify the pursuit of the highest standards of Occupational Health and Safety.

Landfill Gas and Power will comply with the relevant Occupational Health and Safety legislation, while recognising that compliance with statutory requirements represents only the minimum acceptable standard.
