THE INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE TRAINING MANUAL
1 Risk, Health & Safety
Emtelle supports the implementation of the Health and Safety at Works Act 1974 which requires the Employer to safeguard so far as is
reasonably practicable the health, safety and welfare of all the people who work for him.
What that implies is that Emtelle comply with the following;
■ Provide a safe working environment.
■ Provide safe tools and equipment.
■ Provide safe methods of work.
■ Provide safe access and egress.
■ Provide safe handling, storage and transport of articles and substances.
■ Provide necessary information.
■ Instruction, training and supervision.
The Health and Safety at Work act also requires that an employer must,
■ Ensure, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of people not in his employment but who may be affected by the work he is
carrying out
There is moreover an obligation on the employee,
■ To take reasonable care of him/her self and of other persons who may be affected by his acts or omissions.
■ To co-operate with his employer in meeting legal requirements.
Failure to follow safety regulations and recommendations could result in injury
Safety is paramount to Emtelle and it is taken seriously within the company. Information relevant to your training will be given by the Trainer but
information can also be found.
■ On Notice Boards throughout the factory.
■ Around Buildings – Safety signs, notices, etc.

obey the rules governing safety in the event of a fire.
