In The Footsteps and Take Us Touring recognises this it has a duty of care for its 'employees' and their customers. To that end, we have written and documented appropriate health & safety procedures.
The first level of this documentation is our Health & Safety Policy Statement
The second level of document are their health & safety procedures. These are: -
Health & Safety Review Meeting
Accident Incident Reporting Procedure
Generic Risk Assessments
As part of the Generic Risk Assessments procedure they have carried out a series of generic risk assessments identifying potential hassards and the control measures and/or precautions that should be followed to minimise those risks. These Generic Risk Assessments form the third level of their documentation and these are: -
GRA001 - All Tours
GRA002 - Small Group Tours
GRA003 - Large Group Tours
GRA004 - Accommodation
GRA005 - Battlefield Tours
To ensure that all 'employees' are able to access the forms required to comply with these procedures and the generic risk assessment they are also published and available electronically. These forms are: -
Incident Report Form
GRA002A - Vehicle Compliance Form
GRA004A - Hotel Accommodation Enquiry Form
We ensure that all of our employees are adequately trained and competent to do their work. Each employee is given a health and safety induction and where appropriate provided with job specific training sufficient to fulfil their role. To ensure that our team of Tour Managers and Guides receive an appropriate Health & Safety Induction, we issue each of them a Health & Safety Induction Booklet.
