possible work conditions for our employees. Every employee has a right to feel safe at
work. Our company is committed to follow legal standards and create a hazard-free
workplace.
Our Occupational / Workplace Health and Safety Policy help us preserve the best
possible work conditions for our employees.
1.1 Scope
This Occupational / Workplace Health and Safety Policy applies to all prospective and current
employees of the company as well as volunteers, contractors and consultants.
There are two aspects to consider when establishing an Occupational / Workplace Health and
Safety Program: Preventative Action and Emergency Management.
Preventative action is any action we take to avoid injuries or illness related to workplace conditions.
We’ll conduct periodical risk assessments and job hazard analysis to discover what is likely
to harm emplo yees. We’ll establish preventative measures accordingly.
Potential threats and dangerous situations include but are not limited to:
