The health & safety policy at Manandvan Norbury is designed to be practical, proportionate and accessible, ensuring that hazards are identified, assessed and controlled with appropriate resources. Our commitment includes ongoing review and a drive for continuous improvement to maintain a safe, healthy environment for staff, volunteers and visitors.

Scope and Objectives

This policy applies to all operations, premises and activities carried out under the name Manandvan Norbury. The key objectives are to: prevent injuries and ill health, reduce the frequency and consequence of incidents, and promote a culture of safety. We will achieve these aims by implementing clear governance, ensuring competent leadership on safety matters, and maintaining practical procedures to protect people and property. Everyone associated with Manandvan Norbury is expected to understand the importance of safe practices and to cooperate fully with this policy.

Responsibilities

Responsibility for health and safety rests at all levels. Senior leadership provides visible commitment and allocates resources; managers ensure implementation within their areas; and employees follow procedures and report concerns. Contractors and visitors must comply with site rules. Specific responsibilities include:

• Senior leadership: set policy direction and monitor performance.
• Managers: carry out risk assessments and ensure control measures.
• All staff: follow procedures, attend training and report hazards.

The Manandvan Norbury safety framework encourages shared ownership of risk so that accountability is clear and actions are timely.

Risk Management and Control Measures

Risk assessment is central to our approach. We identify hazards, evaluate risks and implement proportionate controls to eliminate or reduce exposure. Controls may include substitution, engineering measures, administrative actions and personal protective equipment. Routine inspections, maintenance schedules and safe systems of work are used to manage environmental and operational risks. This section of the policy explains how the organization prioritizes risks and allocates mitigation resources, ensuring that the Manandvan Norbury health and safety processes reflect current activity profiles and known hazards.

Training, Competence and Communication

A competent workforce is a safer workforce. We provide induction, role-specific training and refresher courses to ensure people have the skills and knowledge to work safely. Training covers emergency procedures, manual handling, use of equipment, and safe working practices. Communication of safety information is delivered through briefings, signage and documented procedures. We encourage open dialogue and active participation in safety meetings to build a proactive safety culture. Records of training and competence are maintained and regularly reviewed to support the policy objectives.

Emergency Preparedness and Incident Management

Preparedness reduces the impact of incidents. The policy requires clear emergency procedures, regular drills and readily available first-aid provision. All incidents, near misses and hazards must be reported promptly so that investigations can identify root causes and learning can be shared. Where appropriate, corrective actions are recorded and tracked to completion. The Manandvan Norbury safety policy promotes transparent reporting and a no-blame approach to encourage reporting and continuous learning.

Facilities, Welfare and Contractors

Facilities and welfare arrangements are maintained to support health and dignity at work. This includes appropriate rest areas, hygiene facilities and access to health support where necessary. Contractor management is integral; contractors must demonstrate safe systems of work, provide evidence of competence and coordinate with site supervisors to prevent conflicts and manage shared risks. The policy expects everyone involved with Manandvan Norbury operations to adhere to the standards set out here and to cooperate in maintaining an environment where safety is consistently prioritised.

Monitoring, Audit and Review

We monitor performance through regular inspections, audits and key performance indicators. Lessons from incidents and audit findings feed into corrective action plans and policy updates. Periodic reviews ensure that this health & safety policy remains suitable, sufficient and effective. Consultation with staff and representatives is embedded in our review process so that improvements are informed by practical experience and frontline insight. The organization is committed to learning and adapting to emerging risks and operational changes.
