Top Fenders Limited (TFL) accepts that it has a legal and moral obligation to ensure, so far as reasonably practicable, a safe and healthy working environment by providing safe systems of work, to prevent injury and ill health to its employees and anyone else who may be affected by its activities.

TFL has established processes to identify significant occupational health and safety hazards posed by its activities and is committed to the continuous improvement of its OH&S management system. TFL performance is monitored and reviewed on a regular basis to ensure compliance. The management system is certified to OHSAS 18001 standard.

To achieve this standard and meet its responsibilities, globally, TFL will:

• Comply with OH&S legal and other requirements applicable to its OH&S hazards.
• Assess the risks to OH&S of its employees and provide control measures.
• Set relevant OH&S objectives and targets to ensure continual improvement.
