OVERVIEW OF THE QUALITY SYSTEM
The company is committed to food quality and safety and has therefore defined and documented policies and objectives based on HACCP principles to ensure that these requirements are adequately met.
A Policy Statement has been published and communicated to the work force. This policy is implemented through a Quality Assurance Policy which:
a) Identifies management representatives.
b) Defines responsibility, authority and inter-relationships.
c) Provides the means by which the company’s objectives shall be acheived.
We consider the pursuit of these objectives essential to the long-term growth and survival of our business.
In order that the Quality Assurance Policy operates to its full potential, all of our employees are required to become familiar with, contribute to and understand those parts of the Policy affecting their work.
The company has established procedures, instructions and associated documentation within the Policy which ensure that processes conform to specified requirements and all current relevant legislation.
The Policy is designed to provide objective evidence which demonstrates that all of our activities are monitored and to ensure absolute customer satisfaction.
It is recognised that the Quality Assurance Policy requires the total support of management and its effectiveness depends upon the commitment of everybody in the organisation.
The company have decided that the overall responsibility and authority for all quality assurance systems and the implementation and maintenance thereof will be the responsibility of the following staff :
William White – Director
Colin White – Quality Assurance Manager
Dean Golding - Production Manager
Denis White – Goods Inward Manager
These staff shall take the lead in working with various company personnel with day to day operational responsibilities to ensure that all of the company’s quality assurance objectives are achieved.

1ST September 2005 - Health & Safety
-
This company is committed to ensuring the health, safety and welfare of its employees and also accepts responsibility for other persons who may be affected by its activities. The company is committed to providing sufficient resources, both financial and otherwise, to meet these responsibilities.
The successful implementation of this policy requires total commitment from all our employees. We need to be vigilant in order to ensure that high standards of health and safety are maintained at all times.
All staff have a part to play in maintaining these standards - by carrying out work safely and with due regard to the safety of others, by reporting anything believed to pose a health or safety risk and, most importantly, by taking a positive attitude towards health and safety, thus helping to create a strong safety culture at William White Meats.
Our Health & Safety Policy sets out the organisation and arrangements made to discharge our statutory health and safety responsibilities and will be reviewed and updated at least once a year or more frequently if circumstances require, i.e. changes in health and safety legislation or the working practices of the company.
A full copy of the policy and arrangements is available upon request.
