The Department is committed to maintaining a safe working environment for all it staff. The key elements of that commitment are contained in this policy statement. The Treasury recognises and accepts its responsibility as a good employer for ensuring, as far as is reasonably practicable, the health, safety and welfare at work of all employees and to ensure that the health and safety of visitors, contractors and the general public are not affected as a result of the Department's activities.
Employees also have responsibilities.
I expect everyone to take reasonable care to ensure their own safety and that of other people who may be affected by their acts or omissions at work. I also look to them to co-operate with the Treasury, its Management Board, and professional and supervisory staff in achieving our commitment to provide a safe and healthy working environment. The Treasury's objectives 4. In other to provide a safe working environment, the Department relies on a large number of people working together and effectively towards that end. In particular, our ability to react properly to any incident depends on the commitment and effort of those volunteers who make up our emergency control team, including fire wardens and first aiders.
