Health & Safety Statement

The effective management of health, safety and wellbeing is integral to the success of Alt HAN Co and to protecting our employees, workers and others affected by our activities.

Alt HAN Co will comply with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, relevant statutory provisions and applicable voluntary standards, including ISO 45001. This policy sets out our framework for managing health, safety and wellbeing risks to employees, workers, contractors, service providers, visitors, Meter Equipment Managers, end-users and other interested parties affected by our activities. It is appropriate to Alt HAN Co’s purpose, context, activities and associated OH&S risks and opportunities.

All workers are expected to support a positive health and safety culture based on shared values, expected behaviours, cooperation and individual responsibility. The Alt HAN Co Board and Senior Management Team accept overall responsibility for establishing, resourcing, implementing, monitoring and reviewing health, safety and wellbeing objectives. We will identify hazards, assess risks and apply controls to eliminate hazards where possible or reduce risks so far as is reasonably practicable.

We will maintain compliance with relevant legislation, regulatory obligations and other requirements through appropriate monitoring, assurance activity and periodic audit.
Where Alt HAN Co undertakes design, coordination, project management or assurance activities involving contractors, service providers or Meter Equipment Managers, including Alt HAN equipment and Crowded Meter Rooms, we will seek to ensure hazards are identified and risks are eliminated or reduced so far as is reasonably practicable.
We will continually improve our OH&S management system, processes and procedures so they remain relevant, effective and aligned with our activities.
Senior Managers will support the consultation and participation of workers, and worker representatives where applicable, and seek to remove barriers to effective participation.
The Health and Safety Advisory Board will support the development, implementation, monitoring and review of Alt HAN Co’s health, safety and wellbeing arrangements and performance.
Develop and maintain arrangements to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, injury, ill-health and harm arising from Alt HAN Co’s undertakings, while supporting physical and mental wellbeing.
Provide appropriate information, instruction, training and supervision to workers under Alt HAN Co’s direction or control.
Allocate sufficient resources to enable the Health and Safety policy to be effectively implemented.
Consult and maintain constructive relationships with employees, enforcing authorities, government bodies, service providers, suppliers and other relevant organisations.
Learn from successes, incidents, near misses, assurance findings and relevant external learning, and share lessons with business partners, stakeholders and suppliers where appropriate.

We will establish measurable health, safety and wellbeing objectives and targets, monitor performance, and report progress through Board meetings and other appropriate governance forums. This will be led by the Senior Management Team.

This policy will be reviewed annually, or sooner following significant business change, to ensure it remains suitable, sufficient, applicable and supports continual improvement. It will be communicated to all workers and made available to relevant interested parties, as appropriate.
