We achieve this by explaining their duty and setting out our company health and safety rules in the Employee Safety handbook which is made available to every employee working for us. This policy applies to all sites within Coopers Fire and any activities carried out by Coopers Fire staff in external locations.
This commitment to Health and Safety is our highest priority and will not be compromised.
