Health and Safety
European Cleaning Services seek to provide the healthiest and safest working conditions possible for all employees and requires the support of all employees towards achieving these ends in order to protect our staff, to safeguard clients' premises and to promote the well-being of anyone else who might be affected by the work the company carries out.
Therefore health and safety are considered management concerns and rank equally with other more normally accepted responsibilities such as sales, personnel and accounts.
The ECS general policy statement for health and safety is to:
- provide adequate control of the health and safety risks arising from our work activities;
- consult with our employees on matters effecting their health and safety;
- provide and maintain safe plant and equipment;
- ensure safe handling and use of substances;
- provide information, instruction and supervision for employees;
- ensure all employees are competent to do their tasks and to give them adequate training;
- prevent accidents and cases of work-related ill health;
- maintain safe and healthy working conditions;
- review and revise this policy as necessary at regular intervals.
Risk Assessments and Safe Working Practices
ECS risk assessment, carried out prior to contract commencement, identifies any possible contract hazards, assesses welfare facilities, looks to ensure safe working practices are applied and introduces specialised training where necessary.
