The OFT health and safety policy General statement of intent 1. The Office of Fair Trading is committed to maintaining a safe working environment for all its staff. The OFT recognises and accepts its responsibility as a good employer for ensuring, as far as is reasonably practical, the health, safety and welfare at work of all of its employees and to ensure that the health and safety of visitors and, of the general public, are not affected as a result of the Office'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 look to all OFT staff to co-operate with its Senior Management and Health and Safety staff in achieving our commitment to provide a safe and healthy working environment. OFT objectives 4. In order to provide a safe working environment, OFT 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 Floor Fire Wardens and First Aiders.
