Clearance Sucks Health and Safety Policy

Clearance Sucks is committed to maintaining a safe, healthy and secure environment for all employees, contractors and visitors. This Health and Safety Policy sets out the standards and expectations that define how Clearance Sucks operates to prevent harm, manage risk and promote wellbeing across all activities under our control. The policy applies to every part of the organisation and is supported by clear roles, documented procedures and a culture that values safety as a core business objective.

Our commitment to safety is demonstrable and continuous: we will take reasonable and practicable steps to control hazards, ensure safe systems of work and provide the resources necessary to meet our objectives. Employees at all levels are expected to cooperate with safety measures and to take personal responsibility for their own safety and that of others. The organisation will not compromise safety for speed or cost; safe operations are integral to how clearance sucks conducts its activities.

Roles and responsibilities are clearly defined to ensure accountability. Senior management has ultimate responsibility for setting policy, allocating resources and ensuring compliance. Line managers are responsible for implementing safe systems, conducting risk assessments and ensuring staff are competent. Every individual is required to follow instructions, use provided protective equipment and report hazards. Contractors and suppliers must meet our standards and will be assessed before engagement to ensure their practices align with the ClearanceSucks safety expectations.

Risk identification and control form the heart of our safety approach. We systematically assess tasks, work environments and equipment to identify potential hazards and apply the hierarchy of controls to eliminate or minimize risk. Controls include engineering measures, administrative procedures, personal protective equipment and training. This approach reduces incidents and supports efficient, compliant operations within the clearance sucks framework.

Training, competence and induction are essential components of a robust safety culture. All staff receive an appropriate induction on joining and are given ongoing training relevant to their roles. Training is monitored and refreshed periodically to address changes in work practices, new technologies or identified weaknesses. We promote continuous learning, encourage safe behaviours and ensure supervisors are equipped to coach and mentor their teams in safe working practices.

Safe equipment and suitable protective gear are provided where risks cannot be fully controlled by other means. Regular inspection and maintenance programs ensure tools and machinery are fit for purpose. Where applicable, we require clear marking, guarding and lockout procedures. Contractors working with Clearance Sucks must adhere to our standards, demonstrate certified competence and coordinate risk control measures with our teams to maintain consistent safety across all operations.

Incident reporting and investigation are treated as opportunities to prevent recurrence. All incidents, near misses and unsafe conditions must be reported promptly so we can investigate causes, implement corrective actions and share lessons learned across the organisation. Documentation is maintained to track trends and to support data driven improvements that enhance safety for everyone involved with Clearance Sucks.

Emergency preparedness is regularly reviewed and practiced. We maintain clear procedures for evacuation, first aid, spill response and other foreseeable emergencies. Plans are tested through drills and exercises, and any gaps identified are closed through updates to procedures, training and resources. Business continuity considerations are integrated with emergency planning to minimise disruption while protecting people and assets.

Monitoring, audit and review close the loop on safety performance. We set measurable objectives, track performance indicators and conduct periodic audits to ensure the policy is effective and relevant. Management reviews consider incident trends, audit findings, stakeholder feedback and regulatory changes, driving continual improvement. The policy is reviewed at regular intervals to align with evolving best practices and operational changes.
