One of the minimum legal elements of the health and safety program that this construction company was to have in place is a statement of aims and responsibilities. This statement outlines the company's commitment to providing a safe and healthy work environment and specifies the roles and responsibilities of all parties involved in the construction project. Without this statement in place, it may be difficult to establish accountability and ensure compliance with health and safety regulations.
