Health & Safety Policy/Risk Assessments

CHMAS has a Health & Safety Policy, which sets out amongst other things our staff induction process, operational and emergency procedures, risk assessments as well as defining specific responsibilities for safety. In addition, all our activities have a risk assessment. These documents are reviewed regularly so that any lessons learnt or updated good practice can be incorporated.
