5.2 YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
               Employees have a duty to take reasonable care of their own safety at work and that of any other
               person who may be affected by their acts or omissions. You have a responsibility to do all you can to
               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
               disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.

               5.3 ACCIDENTS AT WORK
               If you have an accident or near miss at work, you must report the accident to a Company Director on
               the day of the accident. A Company Director will complete an accident investigation form and record
               it in the company Accident Report Book. If you identify a situation that may cause an accident however
               minor, you must advise a Company Director to ensure that procedures are put in place to eliminate
               or reduce the risk of an accident occurring. All accidents at work will be investigated and, where
               appropriate, corrective action will be taken to prevent a recurrence.

               5.4 FIRST AID
               First Aid kits are available at several locations in the Company premises and in each Company owned
               vehicle.

               5.5 CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION
               Closed Circuit Television cameras are in use on our premises for reasons of security and health and
               safety. We reserve the right to use any evidence obtained in this manner in any disciplinary issue.

               5.6 EMERGENCY EVACUATION PROCEDURES
               The procedures to follow in the event of evacuation are demonstrated during statutory training and
               at regular intervals by means of a fire drill. It is necessary for you to familiarise yourself with these
               procedures.

               5.7 NEW EMPLOYEES
               On joining the Company all new employees will be informed about health safety and welfare issues
               during their induction.

               5.8 VISITORS/CONTRACTORS
               Responsibility for the safety of visitors and ensuring that they are aware of the Company's Health
               Safety Policy, including the fire evacuation policy, rests with a Company Director.
