ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY STATEMENT
Prestwich Plastering Ltd - Environmental Policy
The Directors of Prestwich Plastering Ltd believe that the effective management of environmental issues is essential to the continued success of our business. All activities collectively play a part in our overall performance, whether they be office based or on site, therefore this policy equally applies to all personnel, and the Directors of Prestwich Plastering Ltd accept ultimate responsibility to ensure to the best of their ability that environmental compliance is achieved and maintained.
We recognise that our business activities may have environmental implications and we therefore follow a policy designed to minimise environmental impact and damage. Our operations will be managed and organised so as to minimise as far as is resonably practical, environmental damage caused by noise, dust and damage to ground water and drainage systems. In pursuance of this policy, environmental considerations will be taken into account when tendering.
All our personnel and others working on site, have a responsibility to carry out their work giving due care and attention to environmental issues and implications, and we undertake to provide our personnel with relevent information to enable them to carry out works in accordance with PPL Policy.
An Environmental Management System (EMS) has been established that complies with the International Standard ISO 14001 : 2004. This integrates environmental understanding and control into other systems and procedures, under the direction of the senior management team and with the support of all employees, suppliers and contractors. Customers are advised to use and dispose of the organisation's products in an environmentally appropriate way.
Management objectives and targets are established and reviewed on a regular basis to implement the Environmental Policy. These are based on a commitment to six environmental principles:
• Prevention of pollution
• Minimisation of energy and material usage and the production of waste
• Effective and responsible waste management and disposal
• Promoting product reuse and recycling
• Maintaining high workforce awareness of environmental issues
• Involving suppliers, contractors and customers in environmental initiatives
The EMS’s effectiveness is monitored and maintained by regular audit and Management Review.
This Environmental Policy is communicated to all employees and made available to the public on request. The involvement of its workforce and external interested and affected parties in its Environmental Policy is encouraged by the organisation through effective communication procedures.
