Our responsibilities extend to ensuring health and safety and welfare throughout SFYFC both through our own efforts and the co-operation and compliance of our contractors / suppliers.

We seek and welcome recommendations for continuous improvement from both our employees and others.

We view Health and Safety in the widest context. For us, it means protection from risk, death, injury and poor health arising from our activities.

We accept that our responsibility extends to all who are involved in any way in our industry: our workforce; those contracted to work for us both on our property and at SFYFC arranged events; the general public on our property or attending an SFYFC arranged event; and our neighbours.

Our commitment to a safe organisation comprises of:-

•   Improving Health and Safety through the setting of objectives, with adherence to defined standards of excellence, for all those in the provision of NFYFC activities
•   Appropriate levels of resources will be allocated to ensuring the management of Health and Safety within the organisation
•   A positive culture will be encouraged within the organisation and this encouragement shall be actively supported by senior management within SFYFC
•   Robust monitoring and investigation systems to enable us to thoroughly identify and evaluate the controls of risk
•   Adequate planning, monitoring and review of the implementation of the Health and Safety policy will take place
•   An intolerance of failures to establish safe methods of work or to comply with legislation, formal standards, procedures and commitments.

Health and Safety is fundamental to all contracts and trading agreements between all parties whose activities impact on the business and operations of SFYFC. Evidence of acceptable Health and Safety management practice is and will remain a condition of access to SFYFC events and activities.

Our approach to health and safety and welfare is dynamic and we will revise this policy to take into account any and all improvements to health, safety and welfare. Our policy will be reviewed annually.

I, as County President, commit SFYFC to uphold the principles in this Policy Statement in the efficient and effective conduct of our business and will provide adequate resources for this purpose. The implementation of this Health and Safety Policy has been delegated with full authority, to act as appropriate and in the best interests of the members of SFYFC, to the Board of Management. The Board of Management will therefore be the Health and Safety Committee for SFYFC.

Signed:

Steve Morris
County President
