Health and Safety Vision
Our vision is that all our activities will be carried out in such a way as to keep our employees and others affected by our activities safe from harm.
We will achieve this by developing our health and safety management framework, “How we manage safety” to ensure risk is managed and safety is promoted in everything we do. To make this work, we need involvement and commitment from all ANGUSalive employees, positive leadership from our board and managers; and the support of trade union and employees’ representatives.
Health and Safety Commitments
- Developing a positive health and safety culture
- Assessing and effectively managing the risks to the health, safety and welfare of our employees and anyone else our work or services affect
- Providing appropriate and effective information, instruction, training, and supervision to allow all our employees to work safely
- Providing and maintaining a safe and healthy working environment for all our employees, with adequate facilities and arrangements for their welfare at work
- Providing competent health and safety advice and guidance to our organisation
- Consulting with our employees and their representatives
- Working collaboratively with our partner organisations to agree on how health, safety and welfare will be managed in joint operations
- Effectively managing, monitoring and reviewing our health and safety performance
The Policy Statement will be reviewed and amended as necessary.
We believe that we should adopt and promote policies which are in the best interests of the Angus community and workforce, which aim to:
- provide accessible services
- promote accessibility of information
- make the best possible use of our workforce and attract, develop and retain good quality employees
- develop and maintain communication and consultative links
- continuously monitor the level of progress against our equality outcomes
The strategy has been developed by consultancy Culture Radar with invaluable collaborative input from almost 200 local culture and heritage professionals, freelancers and community groups with support from Angus Council, Creative Scotland and the Angus Community Planning Partnership.
