Policy statements
Quality, Environmental, Health and Safety Policy.
Continental is committed to continuously improve our environmental, safety and health performance whilst producing products and providing services of consistent quality that meet with Customer requirements, local and internationally accepted standards and applicable legal requirements which provide a positive contribution to our business.
All work is carried out in a cost effective and timely manner. Ensuring that our products and services are supplied to the highest quality and in accordance with the highest professional standards. We aim for continual improvement via The Company Business Plan, and customer satisfaction through the involvement and participation of all levels of employees and other interested parties.
There are four key elements to the Continental Quality, Environment, Safety and Health (QESH) policy for each of which we have assigned principles to guide our progress:
Management Systems.
The QESH management system complies with Internationally recognised applicable standards[ BS EN ISO 9001: 2000, Quality System, BS EN ISO 14001: 2004, Environmental Management System, and the certified specification OHSAS 18001:1999.] that allows us to continually review our objectives and targets, using the participation and co operation of all our Employees to achieve these objectives.
A key commitment is to promote our objectives through comprehensive training such that our business practices are integrated into the QESH integrated management system. The system will comply with the applicable legislation, regulations and standards relevant to our products and practices.
Resource Utilisation.
Wherever practical, we will endeavour to be efficient in our operations, conserving non-renewable natural resources and to recycle secondary materials. Review and Investment into the development of sustainable processes and products will be considered within the IMS for sustainable improvement.
Quality, Environmental, Safety & Health Impacts.
We will continually measure and improve our QESH performance, monitor the effectiveness of our management system and promote compliance in our industrial sector. The needs of our Customer base, and the requirement to provide on going support, will be continually addressed.
We shall implement effective controls to prevent or minimise the release of pollutants into the environment in all our operations. The protection of the health and safety of our employees, contractors, visitors and neighbouring communities through the use of safe operating procedures and ethical business practices, and the prevention of pollution is implicit in our integrated system.
Stakeholder Relations.
We engage with our Employees and will report publicly and regularly on compliance, performance and progress. This policy is publicly available and will be communicated to all our employees such that we are all committed to its principles and objectives.
This policy is approved, signed and dated by the undersigned and is supported by all Employees within the organisation, who shall be guided by the contents of this IMS [Integrated management system]
