Health and Safety Policy:
The FCM Partnerships Health and Safety Policy is to provide a framework for organisation of Health and Safety within the practice. It is expected that those given duties to implement the policy will discharge them diligently and by their own actions and with their encouragement the practice will continue to be a safe and healthy place in which to work. It is the practice policy so far as it is reasonably practicable:

• To provide and maintain equipment and systems of work that are safe and without risks to health;
• To make arrangements for ensuring safety and absence of risks to health in connection with the use, handling, storage and transport of articles and substances;

• To monitor the effectiveness of health and safety provisions within the Practice.

At the FCM Partnership we keep the practice Health and Safety policy under regular review and audit the practice compliance with the policy. Practice Health and Safety objectives, targets and policy are reviewed and formally agreed each year at the annual review meeting.
