Health and Well-Being
Policy Statement
As with all employers in the United Kingdom, KPMG is required to comply with certain
specified statutory duties under the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 (“the HSWA
1974”), various regulations made under the HSWA 1974.
In accordance with this Health and Safety Legislation, KPMG is committed to ensuring the health, safety and wellbeing of KPMG people and any visitors to our premises. We will provide the necessary resources to ensure compliance with our policy objectives. We recognise the importance of health, safety and wellbeing and accord a high priority to these and related issues. We are committed to a process of continual improvement to meet relevant changes in business and regulatory needs.
To this end, KPMG has developed and implemented health, safety and wellbeing related support systems which are available to all of KPMG people via our intranet. We are, at the very least, committed to being compliant with current applicable occupational health and safety legislation.
In respect of KPMG people and visitors to our premises, our aims are to:
- prevent accidents and promote good health, safety and wellbeing;
- reduce, as far as we can, any health and safety risks associated with our business operations;
- develop a health, safety and wellbeing culture amongst KPMG people; and
- actively encourage and support communication on all health, safety and wellbeing issues within our organisation.
Everyone at KPMG is required to understand that we all have health and safety responsibilities. Our managers and partners are role models and lead by example, ensuring that KPMG people are encouraged and able to manage their own health, safety and wellbeing within a supportive environment.
This policy and associated documentation will be regularly monitored, reviewed and
updated to ensure that our objectives are achieved.
This policy will be made available to all KPMG people via our intranet.
