We meet the requirements of the Health & Safety at Work Acts 1974, the provisions of the COSHH regulations 1988, and the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1992.
Our commitment to health and safety for on-site delivery
Safe delivery of your order is important and John Porter Doors will take responsibility for in-house haulage or the selection of a competent haulier with trailers suitably adapted for the safe delivery of doorset pallets. We will undertake the Risk Assessment and will provide contractors, in advance of delivery, with details of the weights, dimensions, configuration and layout of the doorset pallets.
Our commitment to the environment
The overall environmental policy of the Company is to ensure that we comply with all environmental regulations that apply to our activities and to continually improve our environmental performance. This is achieved by setting realistic targets for improvement and in particular the assessment of our timber procurement chain; power usage; conditions on site and the reduction and removal of waste during manufacture. We are committed to operating our environmental management system in order to comply with the requirements of the ISO 14001 standard and to maintain independent verification of our compliance.
We recognise that our business has an impact on the environment in terms of waste generation, the use of raw materials and emissions to air and water. John Porter Doors is committed to protecting the local and global environment and accept the responsibility to ourselves, our workforce and our neighbours. We are continually assessing our procedures in order to improve our performance and will work with suppliers and subcontractors to help them improve theirs.
