It is the policy of Old Loughtonians Hockey Club (Old Loughtonians Hockey Club Ltd and Old Loughtonians Services Ltd.) to develop a positive health and safety culture throughout the organisation because we believe that high health and safety standards are a pre-requisite in the pursuit of the Club’s efficiency and competitiveness.

To achieve this, the Club will progressively identify all workplace hazards and take reasonable measures to eliminate or control risks to employees and others affected by our operations by applying positive control standards and provision of information, training and supervision as needed.

Employees, guests and members are reminded that they have a duty to ensure that the Club's Health and Safety Policy is observed and in particular they are required to:-

take reasonable care for their own health and safety at work and of those who may be affected by their actions, or by their omissions.

co-operate with the Management Committee to ensure that any duty, or requirement, for health and safety imposed upon the Club by law is performed or complied with.

not to intentionally, or recklessly, interfere with or misuse anything provided in the interests of health, safety or welfare.

report to supervisory staff hazardous conditions or defects in the company safety arrangements.

The Club recognises that it has the ultimate legal responsibility for health and safety. Accordingly,the Management Committee accepts overall responsibility for policy formulation and implementation. In turn, all Committee Members and all employees, guests and members are responsible for carrying out those health and safety duties placed on them. The Management Committee will ensure that the safety plan includes sufficient resources for the successful implementation of the Health and Safety Management Policy.

Where appropriate, the monitoring and review of the Club’s Health and Safety Management Policy will be carried out by the Management Committee under the direction of the Office Manager responsible for health and safety within the Club who will be appointed from time to time by the Management Committee.

Development of the Health and Safety Management Policy will be conducted through the normal business meetings where health and safety will be given standing equal to other activities of the business.
