Super Good Group (“the Company”) is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace, safe working methods, and the provision of safe equipment. It is of fundamental importance that our workplace is a safe environment for members of staff, visitors and members of the public.
This policy applies to all staff, including: managers and supervisors; temporary and permanent employees (whether full-time, part-time or casual); student placements, apprentices, contractors, sub-contractors and volunteers.
This policy sets out the responsibilities of the Company and members of staff with the aim that together we can keep the workplace safe and productive.
In so far as this policy imposes any obligations on the Company (ie those additional to those set out under legislation), those obligations are not contractual and do not give rise to any contractual rights. To the extent that this policy describes benefits and entitlements for employees (ie those additional to those set out under legislation), they are discretionary in nature and are also not intended to be contractual. The terms and conditions of employment that are intended to be contractual are set in an employee’s written employment contract.

The Company may unilaterally introduce, vary, remove or replace this policy at any time.
