QUALITY & ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY STATEMENT   PO-16

The aim of P T Contractors Limited is to succeed in business by continuously improving customer satisfaction and value for money whilst operating the business in a manner that reflects good quality and environmental management.  In order to meet our Customer requirements within the agreed time and price it is necessary to exercise controls on the activities that affect the successful realisation of our service.  We also need to identify our significant environmental impacts and balance the business needs with the requirement to protect the local and global environment.

 The Company will achieve this by: -

 ·       Maintaining compliance with all applicable legislation and Approved Codes of Practice

 ·       Maintaining a Harmonised and Integrated Health, Safety, Quality & Environmental Management System (PIMS), continually improving the effectiveness of this system within the requirements of 

ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and ISO 45001:2018

 ·       Providing our employees with the correct resources, equipment and training to carry out their work 

·       Monitoring our performance to ensure continuous improvement.

Our Quality & Environmental Policy shall earn the confidence of employees, shareholders, customers and the general public by demonstrating our commitment to comply with all relevant legislation and any other requirements to ensure high quality is delivered whilst minimising risk of pollution, best resource use and minimise waste, where feasible, through the continual improvement of performance in all areas of the Company.

The Company has demonstrated a commitment to identify all activities that have the potential to cause an environmental impact, as well as providing adequate resources to help minimise or prevent any negative impact.  

In order to achieve this, we will:

·       Identify all of the Company’s environmental aspects and establish environmental management procedures that can be incorporated into all business decisions, in a cost-effective manner, to combat those aspects that are either significant or potentially significant.

 ·       Regularly measure and evaluate our performance, seeking to continually improve where possible

 ·       Promote a culture of continual improvement within the Company

 ·       Delegate responsibility for quality and environmental matters to the appropriate levels throughout the Company

           ·       Consistently increase the awareness and provide necessary training to all our employees and supply chain partners to ensure environmentally responsible concepts are integrated into their normal working practices

 ·       Demonstrate control of all our operations and ensure that all are performed with due consideration of the environment

 ·       Identify and mitigate against potential incidents that could result in an environmental impact, so that if an incident did occur the consequences would be minimised

 ·       Use products that have a negligible environmental impact, where appropriate options exist that are acceptable to the client

 ·       Improve buying, storage and minimise the use of all products and substances, where appropriate

 ·       Reduce the consumption of resources (energy, materials, fuel), where feasible

 ·       Minimise waste through a commitment to apply the waste hierarchy – to eliminate, reduce, reuse, recover, recycle, and then dispose of waste responsibly

 It is our duty to ensure that good quality and environmental management is practised in all contracts and projects that we are involved in, and we will also seek to influence customers to demonstrate a positive environmental commitment.  

The Company will communicate the Quality and Environmental Policy to all P T Contractors Ltd employees, and it will also be freely available to customers, shareholders and the general public.

Mr P Trant is personally responsible for the quality and environmental performance of the Company and signs this policy statement in acknowledgement of this overall responsibility.
