At GPS MACS health, safety, environmental impact and the wellbeing of our staff and workforce is the top priority. We all have a responsibility to lead the way on safety today, and always.
All persons on site are responsible for informing the GPSMACS Management Team of any notable accidents, with the management team in turn reporting the notifiable accident/incident to the Enforcing Authorities.
Accidents that are non-notifiable under RIDDOR will be entered into the site accident book immediately, first aid administered by the designated first aider and hospital treatment sort if necessary.
All injuries/accidents and near misses must be reported in line with the GPS MACS accident reporting procedure. All persons must be briefed on this procedure before starting works.
YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE THE FULL SUPPORT FROM GPS MACS TO STOP ANY WORKS YOU BELIEVE IS UNSAFE.
