IMS Policy

Integrated Policy Statement

The Health and Safety People Ltd (THSP) is one of the UK’s most respected health and safety consultancies with over 1100 UK and International clients. We operate a Head Office in Sandy, Bedfordshire and employ a team of health and safety consultants throughout the UK whose expertise covers all aspects of construction, manufacturing, service and leisure industries.  We also operate a recruitment division at head office. This Integrated Policy applies to our head office operations, and to Remote Worker activities.

During the course of our business, the Board of Directors are committed to delivering a quality, profitable service whilst ensuring the occupational health, safety and well-being of our employees and minimising our impact on the Environment. To meet this commitment the Directors accept ultimate responsibility for the Company’s Integrated Management System (IMS). This system meets, and where possible exceeds, the requirements of the International Standards ISO 14001:2004 (Environmental), ISO 9001:2008 (Quality) and the British Standard BS OHSAS 18001:2007 (Occupational Health and Safety).  All employees are made aware of their responsibilities in meeting the requirements of the IMS through the provision of appropriate training.

THSP will ensure commitment to continual improvement in the quality of its services and its health, safety and environmental impacts at all levels within the company.  This will be achieved through the setting of objectives and targets and through implementation of the Improvement Cycle.

The objectives and targets will flow from the following policies:

1. In order to reach our goals we will seek to discover how our clients perceive satisfaction and attempt to exceed it.  This will be measured both in specific perception data and also implied data resulting from our current levels of customer retention.
2. Our people are vital.  Only trained, motivated people can deliver a high value service.
3. It is our aim to achieve a working environment which is free of work related accidents and ill-health and to this end we will pursue continuing improvements from year to year.  Consequently all our staff are equipped and trained to carry out their task safely, efficiently and with due regard for the environment.

We will seek to reduce environmental impacts by minimising and ensuring correct disposal of waste and implementing a sustainable transport policy to reduce pollution.

THSP will ensure commitment to compliance with all relevant legal and other requirements that apply to the organisation.

Management shall review the Company’s Integrated Management System at planned intervals to ensure its continuing suitability, adequacy and effectiveness.

THSP will communicate the integrated policy statement to all employees through induction training and sub-contractors at point of purchase of their service.  It is also publicly available to interested parties on our website (www.thsp.co.uk).
