This policy applies to all staff, volunteers, licensees and users of the building. 1
The Mill provides a welcoming, positive, accessible and inclusive space at the heart of Walthamstow, and works with the community locally to make things happen. We don’t run services or decide what should go on here, but provide the space, facilities and some resources. All of our groups, events and activities are brought to us by local people who want to make something happen in Walthamstow. As a community space we wish to provide a safe environment for everyone and maintain a good reputation with all of our users. As a public building, The Mill has a statutory obligation to ensure all activities and work will be carried out in a safe manner to the benefit of the health, safety and welfare of our employees, volunteers, users and licensees and any others who may be affected by our activities.
Everyone using The Mill is expected and encouraged to be proactive on health and safety issues as part of the continued development of the health and safety culture of The Mill and are required to:
- co-operate on health and safety matters;
- take reasonable care of their health and safety; and
- report all health and safety concerns to the Centre Manager, member of staff or to one of the Trustees.
