HEALTH AND SAFETY POLICY

The AI INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE occupational health and safety policy aims at the promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental, and social wellbeing of all AI INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE employees and students including the prevention of departures from health caused by the working conditions. AI INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE is aware that 100% protection is not a realistic expectation, but we are committed to ensure the health, safety, and welfare at work of employees that is reasonably practicable. We will hence conduct a risk assessment and then create a health and safety policy. Health & Safety policies will be reviewed on an annual basis. Health & Safety is the responsibility of everyone and should be proactive rather than reactive. This policy also covers work placements and industrial visits. A committee headed by the Director will have overall responsibility for the Health and Safety Policy and its implementation.

The AI INTERNATIONAL COLLEGE policy will attempt to prevent/minimize:

  • Serious injuries
  • Work related illnesses like stress and back pain
  • Lost workdays due to work-related illness and workplace injury
  • The cost and disruption of accidents.
  • Lost staff time
  • Sick pay
  • Damage or loss of equipment and materials
  • Repairs to buildings and facilities
  • Additional staff costs, overtime working
  • Teaching delays
  • Investigation time
  • Fines
  • Legal costs
  • Guidelines
