Governance

Health & Safety

Great work starts with people who feel safe. Our health and safety policy exists to protect every person who walks through our doors — or works with us from anywhere.

Who This Covers

This policy applies to our Brighton offices and authorised remote working. It protects employees, contractors, and visitors from health and safety risks associated with our activities.

As part of our Suppliers Agreement, we expect our suppliers and partners to maintain a clear health and safety policy as a minimum requirement.

Our Aim

We want to build a proactive safety and wellbeing culture where occupational injuries and illnesses are foreseeable and preventable. We expect everyone — our people and our visitors — to demonstrate personal commitment to this aim.

Responsibility & Accountability

Our Office Manager ensures policies are documented, communicated, implemented, and maintained. The most senior person on site is ultimately accountable for the health, safety, and wellbeing of everyone at that location — regardless of function or reporting line.

All levels of line management are responsible for making sure the resources exist to implement our standards, and that everyone can comply with them.

Reporting a Breach

Report any breach promptly to any Manager or Director. Everyone — employees, contractors, visitors — is encouraged to challenge risk-taking behaviour and report concerns. We take this seriously.


Ten Things to Remember

  1. Ensure any required health and safety training has been completed
  2. Understand the hazards and health risks associated with your role — and those of your colleagues
  3. Know what to do if an emergency occurs at your place of work
  4. Follow the Health and Safety Law poster guide
  5. Don't be afraid to raise concerns about safety behaviours — and be open to concerns raised by others
  6. Report all accidents, incidents, near misses, and anything posing a risk to your line manager and H&S lead
  7. Record all absence due to ill health through the appropriate system
  8. Ensure suppliers, partners, and visitors understand our standards
  9. Know the laws and regulations for your location of work
  10. Seek guidance before engaging in conduct you think may violate any law, regulation, or code of practice
