Health and Safety

Health and Safety

Ensuring the health, safety, and wellbeing of the employees within Polygon is fundamental to our success and sustainability. Not only does it safeguard employees, customers, and stakeholders from potential harm, but it also fortifies the company's values of Integrity, Excellence and Empathy.

When health and safety are prioritised, it leads to reduced incidents of workplace injuries and illnesses, which in turn enhances productivity. Additionally, a safe working environment fosters employee morale and retention, as workers feel valued and protected. This commitment to well-being extends beyond the workforce, enhancing the overall corporate image and building trust with clients and partners.

We recognise that appropriate health and safety management is fundamental to our success and take full responsibility for ensuring that we meet or exceed all relevant regulatory requirements and industry standards. Our commitment includes the following key principles:

1. Prevention and Risk Management:

We will actively identify, assess, and manage health and safety risks in the workplace.

2. Compliance with Legal Requirements:

We will comply with all relevant health and safety legislation, regulations, and codes of practice applicable to our industry and operations.

3. Training and Education:

We will provide ongoing training and development for all staff to ensure that they are competent to perform their work safely and understand their health and safety responsibilities.

4. Employee Engagement:

We encourage all employees to actively participate in maintaining a safe and healthy workplace by reporting hazards, suggesting improvements, and following established safety procedures.

5. Continuous Improvement:

We are dedicated to continuously improving our health and safety practices. We will regularly review our safety policies, procedures, and practices to ensure they remain effective and relevant.

6. Emergency Preparedness:

We will ensure that employees are trained and prepared to respond effectively to emergencies

7. Health and Wellbeing:

We are committed to promoting the physical and mental well-being of all employees by providing a supportive work environment that encourages healthy practices and work-life balance.

By prioritising health and safety, we aim to protect the well-being of our employees and maintain a positive, productive work environment. This commitment is endorsed by our Senior Leadership and Management teams, and we expect all employees, contractors, and visitors to share this responsibility and contribute to the safe and healthy operation of our business.
