OCL has a policy of providing, as far as practicable, a safe working environment, systems of work and safe equipment for all persons, both employed and self employed who are engaged in or affected by our activities. We encourage positive participation and involvement to promote safety standards and have appointed our own qualified Safety Officer and Safety Consultants to provide advice on all matters affecting health, safety and welfare.

Risk Assessments are carried out for all work activities, setting objectives for hazard reduction or elimination. We ensure that those carrying out duties on our behalf are adequately trained to enable them to understand their responsibilities and be 'competent' in their work. We will discipline those who fail to comply with their legal duties thereby undermining the integrity of our safety performance. It is the responsibility of the Directors to ensure that all persons are aware of their individual responsibilities under our health and safety policy. Our Safety Consultants will audit the implementation of our Safety Policy.

All operatives receive CSCS training, attend CITB Health & Safety courses and the company supports the achievement of NVQ and City & Guilds accreditation, along with manufacturer's training courses.
