Health & Safety

Protecting the health, safety and well being of our staff and tenants is important to us. Managing our Health & Safety activities is an essential part of risk management, core principles of North Star’s business operation and is led by our Board and Directors.

Our principles are:

Strong and active leadership from the top:

• Visible, active commitment from Board and Directors
• Effective ‘downward’ communication systems and management structures
• Integration of good health and safety management with business decisions

Employee involvement:

• Engaging our colleagues in the promotion and achievement of safe and healthy conditions
• Effective ‘upward’ communication
• Take up and commitment to high quality training

Assessment & Review:

• Identifying and managing health and safety risk
• Accessing and following competent advice
• Monitoring, reporting and reviewing performance

North Star’s Head of Assets and Property Services is the lead for Health & Safety across the organisation supported by a Steering Group who monitor the implementation of the policy, ensuring that Health & Safety procedures are effectively applied and regularly reviewed and revised.
