Policy Statement

Sixfold is committed to protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of everyone who works for us and anyone affected by our work. We will comply with the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and related regulations, and do what is reasonably practicable to prevent accidents and work-related ill health.

Scope

This policy applies to all directors, employees and associates of Sixfold International Limited (Sixfold), and to anyone acting on Sixfold’s behalf. Most of our work is office-based consultancy and training, carried out from home offices, client premises and hired venues.

Our main risks and how we control them

  • Display screen work – suitable workstation set-up, regular breaks and eye tests on request
  • Travel – planning journeys sensibly, preferring rail where practical, and avoiding driving when tired
  • Client premises and training venues – following the host’s safety rules, checking fire exits and evacuation arrangements on arrival and briefing delegates, and visually checking our own electrical equipment and cables
  • Workload and stress – agreeing only work that can be delivered in reasonable time, monitoring workloads and raising concerns early
  • Manual handling – using safe techniques when moving training materials and equipment

Our arrangements

  • Generic risk assessments are kept for our activities and reviewed annually or when work changes
  • Everyone receives the information and instruction they need to work safely
  • Accidents, incidents and near misses are reported to a director, recorded and acted on
  • Employers’ and public liability insurance is maintained

Everyone’s responsibilities

Everyone must take reasonable care of their own health and safety and that of others, follow this policy and any client site rules, and report hazards or concerns immediately.

Responsibility and Review

Overall responsibility for this policy rests with Andy Haigh, Director. Concerns or suggestions should be raised with him. The policy is published at www.sixfold.biz and is reviewed annually by the Board, or sooner if our work or the law changes.

Approved by Andrew Haigh, Director, on behalf of the Board of Sixfold International Limited, 19 October 2026. Next review: October 2027.
