Health and Safety
Our employees are engaged in low-risk activities, so our occupational ill health and
accident rates are low. We are committed to the continual improvement of our health and
safety management through regular performance reviews, the testing of procedures, open
communication and increasing awareness.
We operate in accordance with the Health and Safety at Work
Act 1974 and all other applicable UK legislation. We adopt
UK legislation and guidance in all offices, where practical, as a
minimum benchmark for our health and safety standards, unless
country-specific obligations exceed these requirements.
