In addition to the above arrangements the Directors of ‘the company’ will also use as guidelines, the PACT Health and Safety Policy in relation to productions that work away from the head office. All location work will be assessed with the PACT policy in mind.

h) Contracted Companies/Sub Contractors (also known as Loan Out Companies) :- H&S Responsibilities: • All companies where a contract for services (written or oral) exist, are employers

in their own right. They must have their own health and safety policy. When however, these companies employ fewer than 5 employees then the policy does not have to be written or recorded. Contractors however must, as employers, keep to the ‘spirit and intention’ of our Health and Safety policy and still have a legal duty to comply with all Health and Safety.

• Contractors, as employers, must assess and control any risks they create, and inform all other companies with whom they share the work place of control measures they are adopting to minimise the risk of injury to other personnel.


These assessments must be recorded if the contractor employs more than 5 employees.

• Contractors have the legal duty to supply employees who are aware of their health and safety responsibilities and have had sufficient training to carry out their work in a safe, healthy and competent manner.

• Impossible Pictures Ltd and all other contracted companies have a legal duty to inform the employees of the contractor about risks to which they might be exposed when sharing the work place with them. This sharing of information before activities commence is a combined responsibility of all employers whether or not they have less than 5 employees or are a sole trader.

• All contractors must use their own tools and equipment whenever practical. This equipment must be fit for the purpose intended and used in a safe and proper manner. All equipment given to the contractor to use, must also be safe and fit for the purpose intended.

• Impossible Pictures Ltd must afford the same welfare facilities to employees of sub-contractors as their own staff. They must also inform contractor’s employees of all emergency procedures. There must be no discrimination or lack of health and safety information because they are not the host company’s own employees.

• A copy of this Policy is available for the reference of all contractors. i) COSHH – Control of Substances Hazardous to Health

• Within our normal operations we purchase few hazardous substances. However, employees should be aware that all substances could be hazardous if used incorrectly. The general advice is to follow the guidance given on the packaging in the event of drinking, eating or splashes on the skin or in the eyes. For the substances commonly found on the premises (cleaning materials etc), the Health and Safety Management Representative will complete a COSHH Assessment using the standard form (see section 6). Freelancers using the company premises will be expected to notify the Health and Safety Representative of any chemicals they wish to use on the premises and provide a COSHH assessment if required.

j) Housekeeping

• Housekeeping is important to the safety of our operations. If we keep our working environment tidy and store things in an orderly manner there will be less chance of accidents happening. The Company Manager will ensure that:

• Good housekeeping standards are maintained on a day to day basis. • Waste materials are disposed of correctly (covered in the relevant COSHH

assessment). • Stock items are stacked safely and stored in the right location. • Gang-ways and exits are kept clear.

Good House keeping is essential, it helps us to use our working environment in a cost effective and efficient manner, tidy storage of files and stock will help us maintain an orderly office and keeps things in good condition.


k) Maintenance of Equipment • Electrical Equipment

It is a requirement under the Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 and the requirements for portable appliance testing, that all electrical equipment is tested periodically by visual inspection and electrical testing to ensure its safety. Staff will check all plugs, extension leads and cables for loose connections and faults before use. If there are any problems then the equipment should not be used and the problem reported to the Company Manager.

l) Hazard and Risk Assessments

Safe Systems of work have been developed covering the routine tasks performed by the company employees. These will be issued to all employees upon commencement of employment. Employees will receive training and advice in these Safe Systems of Work, as appropriate. Safe Systems of are developed from a detailed consideration of the hazards associated with the task and the location of the work, the health effect of these hazards, the chance of these hazards happening and the protective measures required to reduce the overall risk.

General Principles for Risk Assessment and Safe Systems of Work

The chance of the hazard happening and the health effect are classed as follows: 1 2 3 4 5

Health Factor

Remote

possibility of harm

Slight injury,

minor First Aid

Some

injury, not too

serious

Serious injury or damage

Could cause

death or wide

spread injuries

Chance Factor

Unlikely

May

occur at some time

Likely

to occur

at some time

Very

likely to occur

(weekly)

Very likely

to occur daily.

Multiplying the Health Factor by the Chance Factor can assess the over all hazard risk. This gives a hazard risk between 1 and 25. When risk values are higher than 5, consideration should be given to reducing the risk of hazardous operations through the following actions:

• Avoid the hazard • Combat the hazard at source (i.e. wipe up spillage rather than applying a sign to

raise awareness of risk of slipping) • Implement procedures (e.g. reduce exposure time) • Use warning system (e.g. signs and labels)


• Use personal protective equipment only as a last resort (e.g. hearing protectors, dusk masks etc.)

In all cases consider what training is required to ensure that the operation is carried out safely. In designing safe systems of work, the fundamental principles are: Avoidance Avoid risk altogether Prevention Prevent danger arising Reduction Where risks cannot be avoided or prevented they should be reduced. REMEMBER

1) Identify the hazards 2) Assess the seriousness of the health effects of the hazard 3) Assess the chance of it happening 4) Ask who will be affected 5) What controls already exist and are they effective? 6) Decide how the overall risk could be reduced. 7) Record the safe system of work 8) Develop a training scheme 9) Ensure that the person doing the job has been trained in the safe system of work m) Annual health and Safety Review Each year the Company Directors will sit down with the Health and Safety Representatives and review the Health and Safety performance and ensure that our management procedures continue to support our policies. Where the management procedures are changed or safe systems of work are issued then the employees will be informed. The Quarterly Health and Safety Management Meeting reports will be reviewed at the Annual Health and Safety Review and a report will be drawn up to reflect the outcome of these meetings and analyse the effectiveness of any policy changes implemented. m) Display of signs It is a legal requirement that the following signs are displayed in the main office: i. Copy of the employers’ liability insurance certificates. ii. Copy of the company’s Health and Safety Policy (dated and signed by the

Managing Director). iii. Health and Safety Law poster giving health and safety information to employees

(poster ISBN 0117 01 4249) with details of the enforcing authority and the employment medical advisor for the area. A leaflet containing the same information will be given to all employees.

iv. A fire instructions notice covering: fire alarm sound and what to do when the alarm sounds as well as what to do if a fire is discovered.

v. Information outlining first-aid arrangements
