5.3 ACCIDENTS AT WORK
                   If you have an accident or near miss at work, you must report the accident to a Partner/Director
                   on the day of the accident. A Partner/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 Partner/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.

                   5.9.1    Objectives

                   Our  workplace  health  and  wellbeing  policy  looks  at how work  and  work  surroundings  may
                   affect an individual’s health and also how their health may in turn affect their ability to cope
                   with  work.  The  emphasis  is  on  preventing  the  development  of  workplace  health-related
                   accidents and disease and empowering staff to promote and protect their own health. Current
                   measures include but are not limited to:

                           •  Pre-employment  screening  to  determine  the  health  status  of  potential  employees
                              considering the demands of the job in question

                           •  Other services such as vision and hearing screening, sickness absence management,
                              manual  handling  advice  and  training,  advice  on  compliance  with  legislation,
