POLICY ON HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENT

The importance of safety cannot be overemphasized especially within the health industry.  PRINCESS MEDICAL CENTRE has drawn its focus on this important issue over the years through courses, books and meetings.  The continuously improved knowledge of having a hazard free environment has brought together this policy, which is to be observed by all staff employed by the organization.
1.     To work in every way possible to remain healthy.
2.     Proper management of work hazards that cannot be eliminated.
3.     To incorporate safety of our patients in our daily work plan or procedure.
4.     To protect the environment from harm just the way we protect ourselves.
5.     To create a sustainable development in safety of our staff, patient, environment and the public.
6.     To adhere to government regulations on safety in areas where it concerns us.
7.     Our safety plan is to achieve possibly a zero accident incidence at the end of each year.
WASTE DISPOSAL:-
In line with our HSE policy, wastes are categorized and disposed accordingly.  While sharp objects like injection needles are disposed of using needle destroyers, other wastes are properly bagged and disposed by a waste disposal company contracted by us in line with appropriate state regulations on waste management.
