HEALTH & SAFETY

The Performing Arts Collective Limited employs under five employees therefore the statutory requirement under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974 section 2(3) to provide a written policy does not apply but one has been done for completeness. The following is intended as a general statement in the spirit of the legislation.

  • To take reasonable action to prevent accidents and injury

  • To review and revise this policy as necessary

 

2. Overall responsibility for health and safety is that of Trudie Jones and Alicia Muscella but all employees have a responsibility to reasonably carry out tasks to prevent injury to themselves, fellow employees and others affected by their actions and omissions at work. Everyone entering the hall where lessons are taking place must take reasonable care of their own health and safety and report all health and safety concerns to the most senior person at that time. These concerns must then be reported to Trudie Jones or Alicia Muscella in a prompt time frame.
