Health and safety in the workplace

Through its Policy concerning Health and Safety in the Workplace, SIRA undertakes to operate in compliance with applicable national and EU laws, regulations and directives. To achieve these objectives, SIRA has therefore decided to apply the following principles to all of its production, testing, distribution and installation activities for broadcasting and telecoms antennas, components and accessories:

• to combat living and working conditions that endanger health and to disseminate suitable lifestyles and individual behaviours;
• to boost training and information activities, involving all operators and making them aware of their individual obligations and of the importance of their every action when it comes to achieving expected results and of their responsibility for safety;
• to identify hazards in activities and to assess risks to staff beforehand, insofar as these exist, and for each new activity and/or process, so as to be able to adopt solutions able to prevent accidents or work related illnesses;
• to raise the awareness of subcontractors and suppliers and to require them to comply with the policies, laws and commitments adopted by the company in terms of safety;
• to reappraise risk assessments on a regular basis, independently of any variations that occur.

To implement the principles stated in this document, a management representative for the Safety Management System has been appointed; this person has a well-defined position, responsibility and authority for the following:

• to make sure that the requirements of the Safety Management System are set, applied, and maintained in conformity with the requirements of applicable standards and laws;
• to report to management on the performance and efficiency of the Safety Management System for the purpose of reappraisal and improvement;
• to perform in-house audits.
