Rising Voices Wessex Community Choir (the Charity), believe that health and safety is a vital component of the Charity’s business.
Freelance Music Directors, Trustees and volunteers (for example Steering Group) and members are the most important asset to this Charity, and therefore their health, safety and welfare is a priority at all times.
The Charity believe that prevention is not only better, but cheaper than cure. Good health and safety are paramount to our ethos and beliefs.
From a legal perspective, the Charity is committed to ensuring that it complies with all relevant health and safety legislation where it is reasonably practicable to do so.
The Charity is committed to ongoing monitoring and review processes, so that continual improvement in the management of health and safety can be achieved.
Our general intentions are to:
• Provide adequate control of the health and safety risks arising from our activities.
• Maintain safe and healthy conditions for rehearsals and events.
• Provide and maintain safe equipment.
• Provide adequate information, instruction, training and supervision.
• Consult with Music Directors/volunteers/members on matters affecting their health and safety.
• Review and revise this policy at regular intervals.
