of management, working in cooperation and consultation with employees,
to ensure ongoing active prevention of injury and illness in our
workplace.
Willow is committed to the development, implementation and continuous
improvement of a Health and Safety Management System. All employees
will be consulted on OH&S issues and their views and recommendations
will be taken into account in the program development and implementation
process.
This will be
achieved through:

workplace hazards are identified, the associated risks assessed
and appropriate measures are introduced to control these risks;

inspections, maintenance, repairs, cleaning, modifications and
housekeeping will be undertaken with urgency;
- Safe standard
work procedures and systems of work will be developed and implemented;
- All employees
and contractors will be provided with appropriate information,
regular OH&S training and supervision in order to undertake
their duties safely and without risk to health;
- Tasks requiring
specific qualifications, skills or experience will only be undertaken
by those competent to do so;
- All employees
will be provided with appropriate amenities for their comfort
and convenience.
These amenities,
and the physical working environment, will be maintained in a healthy
and safe condition;
- All visitors
to the workplace will be provided with identification badges and
any necessary protective equipment, and adequately supervised
to ensure workplace health and safety; and
- Employee
