As Managing Director, I have ultimate responsibility for health, safety and wellbeing within Agrii. It is important, however, that we work collectively to ensure health, safety and wellbeing forms an integral part of our working culture, the decisions we make and the actions we take. Responsibilities for ensuring implementation of the arrangements underpinning this policy have been delegated through each member of the management chain and their respective team management structures.
Ensuring the physical and mental wellbeing of our employees is a shared responsibility; with support from everyone in the business we can achieve a high standard of health, safety and wellbeing.
This policy will be reviewed on an annual basis and will be revised and updated as required.
