Our Safety Statement

NG Healthcare recognises that failures in health and safety management can potentially lead to loss of life, personal injury, damage to property and legal action. Control of risk is a management responsibility inseparable from other aspects of professional management. To assist in the task of identifying and controlling risk, persons “competent to advise” are appointed by the company in accordance with the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations.

Unit Managers are responsible within their own domain for the implementation of the company Health and Safety Policy.
