The Committee recognises its responsibilities under the Health and Safety at Work Act and associated regulations, for ensuring so far as it is reasonably practicable the health, safety and welfare of all those travelling with us on pilgrimage.
 
The Committee attaches the greatest importance to health and safety, considering this to be a management responsibility ranking equally with other management functions within the organisation.
 
It is our policy to take all reasonably practicable precautions for the prevention of accidents and dangerous occurrences and for the creation of an environment that safeguards all pilgrims. To this end the pilgrimage will allocate the necessary resources and enlist the active support of all pilgrims, upon whom duties are also imposed by the Health and Safety legislation.
 
The Committee regards the standards set by the various relevant statutory provisions as the minimum standard which must be achieved, will endeavour to improve upon these standards where reasonably practicable and are presently in the process of reviewing our Health and Safety Policy.
  
OBJECTIVES
