Health and Safety Policy Statement of Intent

Challenge Fencing recognises that it has a responsibility as an employer to ensure the Health, Safety and Welfare of all employees whilst at work. Additionally, it is the responsibility of all persons who work for Challenge Fencing (Directors, Managers, Employees etc.) to ensure this policy extends to all other persons who may be adversely affected by our current work activities. In this way, every individual within Challenge Fencing has a vital and specific role in maintaining health and safety standards.

Responsibility for the overall implementation, maintenance and development of our safety management system rests with the senior management of Challenge Fencing, including the regular setting and reviewing of objectives, and the provision of adequate resources to allow those objectives to be achieved.

It is also the responsibility of senior management within Challenge Fencing to ensure that our health and safety policy is relevant to all applicable legislation and to any other requirements that Challenge Fencing may subscribe to.

Management recognises the importance of its staff and encourages the reporting of any hazard or risk that may adversely affect the standard of our health and safety. We also recognise the importance of ensuring that staff are adequately trained, informed and supervised to fulfil their activities safely.

Challenge Fencing is committed to a management system that demonstrates a proactive approach through the continual improvement of our health and safety performance. This is further achieved by the regular setting and reviewing of objectives to achieve compliance with current safety legislation applicable to Challenge Fencing and through matching our industry's best practices.

We as an organisation also recognise the need for the identification of hazards and the recording and reviewing of risk assessments, to further achieve a pro-active safety management system. The effectiveness of our health and safety policy and its implementation is subject to regular management review and all related processes and procedures are subject to an ongoing audit schedule.
