Document background
The Contractors Health And Safety Policy Statement serves as a fundamental document for ensuring workplace safety and regulatory compliance in Philippine construction and contracting operations. It is required under Republic Act 11058 and various DOLE regulations, particularly for companies engaged in construction, infrastructure development, and related high-risk activities. The document outlines safety protocols, defines responsibilities, establishes reporting procedures, and sets standards for training and emergency response. It should be implemented when engaging in any contracting work in the Philippines, especially for projects involving multiple contractors or high-risk activities. The policy statement must be regularly reviewed and updated to reflect changes in legislation and industry best practices.
