Health and Safety Policy

The New Carnival Company CIC recognises it has a duty, in the conduct of its business operations, to ensure a safe environment for its employees and all those individuals and organisations it works with.

An effective health and safety policy requires the full involvement of the Board of Directors, all employees and everyone the company engages or involves with: everybody is asked to read this policy and to accept their own personal responsibility for health and safety provision.

Overall and final responsibility for health and safety rests with the Executive Director. This includes ensuring the policy is put into practice and maintained on a day to day basis.
