5.2 YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
Employees have a duty to take reasonable care of their own safety at work and that of any other

prevent an injury to yourself, colleagues and others. This will include the reporting of any unsafe
conditions as soon as you become aware of them. Employees also have a duty to co-operate with their
employer to enable them to comply with statutory provisions e.g. evacuation during a fire drill. You
also have the duty to familiarise yourself with and conform to the Company's health safety and welfare
policies and procedures.
Failure to observe the Company's health, safety and welfare policies and procedures may result in
