Over recent years there has been an increased awareness of the importance of Health & Safety within the workplace and Friends Provident is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment as part of its wider responsibilities to staff. Greater emphasis is also being placed upon individual staff members who can also now be held legally responsible under Health & Safety Law.

The promotion of Health & Safety at work must be a mutual objective for staff at all levels. We all have a duty to take proper precautions and care in our work not only to safeguard ourselves but also colleagues, visitors and contractors etc. within our offices.

The majority of accidents can be avoided, provided potential safety hazards are recognised and reported to the appropriate person.
