Health & Safety
Tiger Supplies places health and safety at the centre of its operational culture. The business operates a structured, risk-based Health & Safety Management System aligned with ISO 45001, designed to protect employees, contractors, visitors and customers while supporting safe, efficient and compliant operations at scale.
Health and safety performance is actively monitored, reviewed at senior management level and treated as a fundamental operational requirement rather than a compliance exercise.
Health & Safety Management Framework
Health and safety at Tiger Supplies is governed through a formal ISO 45001-aligned Health & Safety Management System. This framework defines responsibilities, controls, procedures and monitoring processes across all areas of the business, including warehousing, logistics, in-house production, office environments and off-site activities.
Health and safety objectives are reviewed through formal management processes, ensuring alignment with operational activity, legal obligations and continuous improvement requirements.
Leadership, Responsibility & Accountability
Clear roles and responsibilities are defined to ensure health and safety accountability at all levels of the organisation.
Senior management retains overall responsibility for health and safety performance, supported by competent persons responsible for day-to-day management, monitoring and implementation. Health and safety performance, incidents and improvement actions are reviewed regularly and escalated where required.
This leadership-led approach ensures health and safety is embedded within decision-making and operational planning.
Risk Assessment & Safe Systems of Work
All operational activities are subject to formal risk assessment processes.
Risk assessments are completed, reviewed and updated for:

• Vehicle movements and loading areas
• In-house production and assembly
• Use of machinery and equipment
• Manual handling activities
• Office and welfare environments
• Contractor and visitor activities
Safe Systems of Work are developed where required, ensuring risks are controlled through engineered, procedural and behavioural measures.
Risk assessments are reviewed regularly and whenever operational changes occur.
