At Collinson plc our mission is to provide a safe and healthy working environment for our employees
and other persons who may be affected by our activities, by operating our business under the

• Prevent accidents and cases of work-related ill health by managing the health and safety risks in the
workplace through daily use, and continuous improvement, of our management systems.
• Ensure compliance to all relevant legal and other requirements affecting our business scope.

themselves and others. Employees duties include, but are not restricted to, ensuring they:
• Take reasonable care for their own health and safety, and for the safety of others who may be
affected by their acts or omissions.
• Co-operate with the company on health & safety and report any issues they are aware of.
