Health and Safety Policy

This Health and Safety Policy explains how the LDA complies with the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 and all other allied relevant legislation.

The London Development Agency (LDA) is committed to the highest standards of health and safety and seeks to make adequate provisions for, and to maintain, a healthy and safe working environment on the premises under its control.

All LDA employees (including temporary staff, long-term consultants and secondees) have a duty to familiarise themselves with the contents of the Health and Safety Policy.

The Policy is discussed and reviewed on the 'Induction' of all new members that join the LDA.

Successful implementation of the policy requires the commitment and co-operation of staff, other occupiers, visitors, contractors and members of the public all of whom will be expected to conduct themselves in accordance with any duty of statutory requirement imposed by the LDA.

The Health and Safety team are currently revising the Health and Safety management system so that it meets the stringent requirements of OHSAS 18001 which is an internationally recognised standard for managing Occupational Health and Safety. The Health and Safety policy will be a key part of that review process.
