may potentially have on the environment. The clear objective of D.K.Jones is to
minimise any impact on the environment by:

socially responsible manner;
- Ensuring effective and expedient incident control, investigation and reporting
Management and supervisory staff have responsibilities for the implementation of the
policy and must ensure that environmental issues are given adequate consideration in the
planning and day-to-day supervision of all work. Current initiatives include:-

the Environment Agency and other. As part of the D.K.Jones commitment to maintaining
the highest levels of environmental management, it is the intention that the Company will

All employees and sub-contractors are expected to co-operate and assist
in the implementation of this policy, whilst ensuring that their own works, so far as is

matter.
We will take all practical steps to ensure that potential hazards and

applicable to our activities. This policy has been endorsed by the board of
directors who give their full support to the implementation of the policy.
