Orange RE Limited, and all of its secondary companies and
divisions, is committed to achieving high standards of health
and safety in order to safeguard our employees, clients,
tenants, contractors and any other person that may be affected
by our actions and activities.
Our management believes that a modern and outstanding Company
is by definition a
Safe
company. Since we are committed to excellence, it follows
that minimising risk to people is inseparable from all other
company objectives. We understand that health and safety
routine is a positive business investment and is the responsibility
of both Orange RE’s management and employees.
As a real estate and investment Company, we will ensure
that sufficient resources are provided to ensure effective
management and implementation of our health and safety arrangements.
Responsibilities and relationships must be developed which
promote a positive health and safety culture, and secure
the implementation and continued development of our policies.
Orange RE Limited has in place adequate systems and arrangements
to achieve the following:
 |
Compliance with all relevant legislation and associated
codes of practice;
|
 |
Effective lines of communication with relevant enforcement
agencies;
|
 |
Minimisation of risks through risk assessment which
is used to decide on priorities and to set objectives
for eliminating hazards and reducing risks. Risks that
cannot be eliminated are minimised by the use of physical
controls or, as a last resort, through systems of work
and personal protective equipment;
|
 |
Adequate information, instruction and training to meet
business needs;
|
 |
Assessment of the adequacy of health and safety procedures
through consultation with our employees;
|
 |
Requirements for all employees, contractors and partners,
to work safely and with consideration for the health
and safety of themselves and others.

Take reasonable care for their own health and safety
and that of others who may be affected by their acts
or omissions;
|
 |
Co-operate with Orange RE Limited on matters relating
to health and safety at work by complying with procedures
and instructions;

Not knowingly act in such a way which may cause either
themselves or the Company to be in breach of the law
or damage the reputation of the Company;
|
 |
Correctly use any items of equipment, in accordance
with training given and not interfere with; or misuse,
any item of personal protective equipment provided;
|
 |
Attend general and work-related health and safety training
as required;
