Man and Van Bromley Health and Safety Policy

Man and Van Bromley is committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for our employees, customers, contractors, and members of the public who may be affected by our removal and delivery activities. This Health and Safety Policy sets out the principles and procedures we follow to manage risks effectively and ensure that our removal services are carried out as safely as reasonably practicable.

Our Health and Safety Objectives

Our primary objectives are to prevent accidents, injuries, and work-related ill health arising from our activities, and to continuously improve our health and safety performance. We aim to:

Identify, assess, and control risks associated with lifting, carrying, loading, unloading, driving, and working in and around customers premises.

Provide and maintain safe systems of work, safe vehicles, equipment, and tools.

Ensure that employees are competent, properly trained, and supervised in all relevant health and safety matters.

Promote a positive health and safety culture in which everyone understands their responsibilities and feels able to report hazards and concerns.

Management Responsibilities

Management at Man and Van Bromley is responsible for the implementation and monitoring of this Health and Safety Policy. This includes:

Ensuring that health and safety considerations are integrated into planning and decision making for all removal and delivery work.

Carrying out and regularly reviewing written risk assessments for key activities, such as manual handling, working on or near roads, operating lifting equipment, and accessing multi-storey properties.

Providing appropriate resources, including time, training, and equipment, to maintain safe working conditions.

Investigating any accidents, incidents, or near misses to identify root causes and prevent recurrence.

Reviewing this policy periodically and updating it to reflect changes in legislation, industry standards, or business operations.

Employee Responsibilities

All employees have a duty to take reasonable care of their own health and safety and that of others who may be affected by their actions. Employees are expected to:

Follow all safety instructions, procedures, and training provided by Man and Van Bromley.

Use equipment, vehicles, and personal protective equipment correctly and report any defects immediately.

Cooperate fully with management in implementing health and safety measures and participating in training.

Report accidents, near misses, unsafe conditions, or health and safety concerns without delay.

Refrain from taking shortcuts or engaging in any behaviour that could put themselves, colleagues, or customers at risk.

Risk Assessment and Safe Working Practices

We perform risk assessments for our core activities and develop safe systems of work based on the findings. Key areas include:

Manual handling of furniture, appliances, and boxes, ensuring that loads are assessed, lifting is shared where appropriate, and mechanical aids are used where available and suitable.

Safe use of trolleys, straps, ramps, and other moving equipment to minimise strain and prevent damage to goods and property.

Safe loading and unloading of vehicles to avoid falls from height, crush injuries, and shifting loads during transit.

Working within customers homes and business premises with respect for their environment, ensuring clear access routes and maintaining good housekeeping to prevent slips, trips, and falls.

Driving and parking vehicles safely to reduce the risk of road traffic incidents and ensure safe access for loading and unloading.

Vehicles and Equipment Safety

Man and Van Bromley keeps its vehicles and equipment in a safe and roadworthy condition through regular checks and maintenance. We will:

Conduct routine pre use checks on vehicles and report any defects immediately.

Ensure that lifting aids, trolleys, and other tools are inspected, maintained, and replaced as necessary.

Make sure that loads are distributed correctly, secured properly, and that maximum weight limits are not exceeded.

Provide suitable equipment to handle awkward, heavy, or fragile items, reducing the reliance on manual handling alone.

Training, Information, and Supervision

We recognise that skilled and informed staff are essential to safe operations. Man and Van Bromley will:

Provide induction training for all new staff, including basic health and safety awareness, manual handling, safe driving practices, and site specific procedures.

Offer ongoing training and refreshers where required to maintain competence.

Ensure that employees receive clear instructions for each job, including any site specific risks or customer requirements.

Provide adequate supervision, particularly for new or inexperienced staff, to make sure that safe practices are followed.

Customer and Public Safety

We are committed to protecting the safety of customers and the public during removal and delivery operations. Our teams will:

Plan access routes and work areas to minimise disruption and avoid blocking exits or emergency routes.

Use warning signs or verbal communication to alert people to potential hazards where appropriate.

Work carefully in shared spaces such as corridors, stairwells, and car parks to avoid collisions or obstruction.

Handle all goods with care to reduce the risk of property damage or personal injury.

Health, Welfare, and Fitness for Work

Man and Van Bromley recognises the physical nature of removal work and the importance of employee wellbeing. We will:

Encourage safe working techniques to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.

Discourage lone working in high risk situations and ensure effective communication where lone working cannot be avoided.

Expect employees to present for work fit, unimpaired by alcohol, drugs, or fatigue, and to notify management of any condition that might affect their ability to work safely.

Monitoring, Review, and Continuous Improvement

We monitor our health and safety performance through regular checks, incident reporting, and feedback from staff and customers. Lessons learned from incidents, near misses, and audits are used to improve our procedures, training, and equipment. This Health and Safety Policy is reviewed regularly and updated when necessary to ensure that it remains relevant, effective, and aligned with best practice for removal and delivery services.

By working together and following this policy, Man and Van Bromley aims to provide a professional, reliable, and safe removal service for all customers.
