Introduction
BrisDoc is committed to providing a working environment that promotes the health, safety and welfare of patients, staff and the general public. BrisDoc recognises that effective health and safety management is an integral part of management practice and accepts its responsibility:
- for providing a safe and healthy workplace, and working environment
- to provide the systems and culture to support the identification and control of risks at work
- engage co-owners and self-employed staff in the promotion of safe working practices
A key commitment to this is compliance with the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health (COSHH) regulations 2002 (as amended) and other relevant legislation, including the provision of professional competence and adequate resources.
Wherever possible, BrisDoc will eliminate the use of hazardous substances. Where this is not feasible, exposure will be minimised by using the least hazardous substances available and taking all reasonable and practicable steps to ensure safety.
