Premier Power Ltd believes that health, safety and the environment are an integral part of the company's performance and a prime responsibility of management at all levels.
The company's Health, Safety & Environmental Policy sets out its obligation to employees and others involved in or affected by its operation.
Premier Power Ltd also participates in the Eco-Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS). The first step of the process was to carry out a review of our operations, to determine how we comply with environmental legislation and good practices. In the next step we identified, and determined the significance of, what are known as our "environmental impacts". From this we continue to determine and act on what we need to do to achieve continual improvement.
