HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY :

Our Commitment

We are committed to ensuring the highest standards of health and safety across our operations. Our strategy prioritises the well-being of employees, partners, and customers by maintaining a safe working environment, complying with UK regulations, and continuously improving our safety practices.

Scope and applicability

We are dedicated to maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for all employees, contractors, customers, and visitors across our corporate offices, regional sites, and warehouses. Our commitment also extends throughout our value chain, ensuring safety standards are upheld by our partners and suppliers.

Key Material Aspects of Our Business

At Wavetel Business Limited’s corporate and regional locations, occupational health considerations are essential due to the nature of our work environment. The primary focus areas include ergonomics, health impacts, communicable diseases, food safety, and business travel security.

Supply Chain Safety and Risk Management

Identifying and mitigating risks associated with unsafe work environments and practices are critical aspects of our supply chain management. Key concerns include health and safety risks from improper or non-use of personal protective equipment, unsafe material handling, unplanned or hazardous travel, and other occupational hazards.

Governance

The Chief Channel Partners Manager reporting to the CEO, holds primary responsibility for ensuring safe, efficient, and legally compliant operations across all Wavetel Business Limited locations. Supporting this effort, regional and location heads lead health and safety initiatives, working alongside legal and compliance teams in their respective areas.

Additionally, every employee—whether as an individual, manager, or functional owner—plays a role in upholding and promoting a safe workplace. Health and safety are embedded within our corporate governance framework, with oversight provided by the Audit, Risk, and Compliance Committee.

We adopt a comprehensive and integrated approach to health and safety, focusing on both preventive and mitigation measures.
