DL Rhodes & Son Established: 1976
Policies
1. Health & Safety
The Company monitors its Health and Safety rigorously not only internally but also
externally through the employment of an outside advisory group of inspectors who
visit and report on all sites
D L Rhodes & Son Ltd recognises the fact that the health and safety has positive
benefits to the organisation and commitment to a high level of safety makes good
business sense. It also recognised that health and safety is a key function of the
business and must, therefore, continually progress and adapt to change. The approach
to health and safety will be based upon the control and identification of risk.
As there are distinct benefits to be gained from providing a safe and healthy working
environment, appropriate levels of resources are allocated to ensuring health and
safety within the organisation and this is actively supported by senior management.
The Directors and senior managers expect the level of service the company provides
and the quality of the workmanship to be of the highest standard and no less is
expected when it comes to health and safety.
All employees are involved in the decision making either on an individual basis
or through D L Rhodes and Son communication with Directors and Managers. The
performance of both individuals and the organisation as a whole is governed by predetermined
standards including health and safety improvements.
Adequate planning, monitoring and review of the implementation of the health and
safety policy are carried out. D L Rhodes & Son provide employees with;
-
A safe system of work without risk to the safety, health and welfare of all its
employees
-
Provide appropriate information, instruction, training and supervision to ensure

D L Rhodes & Son Ltd has a clear commitment to ensuring that both in the execution
