Company Policies
ENVIRONMENTAL STATEMENT
As a relatively new company our Fresh Approach is to lead our industry and products into the 21st century by way of using natural cleaning products and methods. We realise that the only way we can help the environment is to change from using harsh manufactured cleaning products to more eco-friendly based natural products and materials. We will strive to continually source new materials and practices to minimise our impact on the environment.
On an individual level I am also looking to improve the personal working environment for our workforce and clients alike. I believe that the use of these natural products and methods will minimise any personal impact and also allow us to do our bit for the environment, whilst maintaining our standards of work.
We are also engaged in the following 4 key objectives:
- to comply with current Environmental legislative requirements
- to make efficient and environmentally responsible use of energy sources
- to reuse, recycle or minimise waste
- to reduce, and where practicable, prevent pollution
HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY STATEMENT
It is the policy of Fresh Approach to safeguard the health, safety and welfare of all our employees and professional associates, and Fresh Approach, staff and agents, and other members of the public whilst at work. We also fully accept our responsibility for other persons who may be affected by our work activities. We accept the aims and provisions of the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974, and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, and we will take steps to ensure that our statutory duties are met at all times.
It is our duty to ensure that all processes and systems of work are designed to take account of health and safety and are properly supervised at all times.
We will assess the risks to the health and safety of our employees and to anyone else who may be affected by our work activities. We will also make arrangements to effectively plan, organise, control, monitor and review the preventative and protective measures identified as being necessary by these risk assessments as well as ensure that;
- I. Adequate facilities and arrangements will be maintained to enable employees to raise issues of health and safety.
- II. Competent people will be appointed to assist us in meeting our statutory duties including, where appropriate, specialists from out with the organisation.

- V. We will provide and maintain a working environment for employees and the public that is safe, without risks to health and adequate as regards facilities and arrangements for their welfare, so far as is reasonably practicable.
Every employee must co-operate with us to enable all statutory duties to be complied with. The successful implementation of this policy requires total commitment from all levels of employee. Each individual has a legal obligation to take reasonable care for their own health and safety, and for the safety of other people who may be affected by their acts or omissions.
This policy will be regularly monitored to ensure that the objectives are achieved. It will be reviewed, and if necessary, revised in the light of legislative or organisational changes.
