The company places great importance in ensuring the health, safety and welfare of its employees.

The effective implementation of this policy will require the co-operation of employees at all levels. Employees are reminded that they have specific legal responsibilities to -

• Ensure the health and safety of themselves and of any person who may be affected by their acts or omissions at work.
• Use equipment in accordance with the instructions and training provided.
• Report any work situation, which is considered to pose a serious and imminent danger.
• Co-operate with their employers to comply with the statutory requirements placed upon them : and to -

Ultimate responsibility for Health and Safety within the company lies with the Managing Director, who will ensure adequate resources are available to achieve aims of this policy and monitor its effectiveness. Responsibility for implementation of specific arrangements forming part of this policy is delegated to Heads of Department.

This policy will be reviewed and updated as necessary to reflect any changes in the office activities and legislative requirements.

GuardWatch wholeheartedly supports the principle of equal opportunities in employment and opposes all forms of unlawful or unfair discrimination on the grounds of colour, race, nationality, ethnic or national origin, sex, marital status or disability.

We believe it is in our best interests to ensure that the human resources, talents and skills available throughout the community are considered when employment opportunities arise.
Every possible step will be taken to ensure that individuals are treated equally and fairly and that decisions on recruitment, selection, training or promotion are based on objective and job criteria.

Environmental Policy

GuardWatch's policy in environmental issues is in the most part driven by our customers. It is our policy to work within each customer's environmental policy framework , as our operations occur on customer premises.

As an organisation we communicate care for the environment and encourage all conduct that promotes this. In practical terms this is translated into -

• Selected vehicle categories that are fuel efficient.
• Use paperless communication (email).
• Operate a No Smoking Policy at all our offices.

We will continue to seek ways to protect the environment, our customers and our staff during the course of our business.
