Modern Slavery & Human Trafficking Policy
Safety Technology International Ltd is committed to driving out acts of modern day slavery and human trafficking within its business and that from within its supply chains, including sub-contractors, and partners. The company acknowledges responsibility to the Modern Slavery Act 2016 and will ensure transparency within the organisation and with supplies of goods and services to the organisation.
As part of the company’s due diligence processes into slavery and human trafficking, the supplier approval process will incorporate a review of the controls undertaken by the supplier. Imported goods from sources from outside the UK and EU are potentially more at risk for slavery/human trafficking issues. The level of management control required for these sources will be continually monitored.
The company will not knowingly support or deal with any businesses involved in slavery or human trafficking. The company Directors and senior management shall take responsibility for implementing this policy and its objectives and shall provides the necessary resources (training, etc.) and investment to ensure that its practices are effective in ensuring that model day slavery is not taking place within the organisation or within its supply chain.
This policy takes into account, and supports, the policies, procedures and requirements documented in our Quality Management System, compliant with the requirements of ISO 9001:2008. The implementation and operation of this management system underlines our commitment to this policy. STI Ltd employees receive no less than the prescribed minimum wage and we apply robust immigration checks, and expect the same standards from our suppliers. Formal procedures ensure that this policy is understood and communicated to all levels of the company, and that it is regularly reviewing by the Directors to ensure its continuing suitability and relevance to the company’s activities.

WEEE Statement
The EU Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive requires all Member EU countries to maximise the separate collection, reuse and recycling of WEEE. The UK WEEE Regulations (derived from this Directive) applies to all Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) placed on the market in the UK covered by the scope of these Regulations.
Under the UK WEEE Regulations, “Producers” are required to mark all relevant EEE with a “crossed-out wheelie bin” symbol to remind consumers not to discard WEEE in the domestic waste stream. STI Ltd encourages all of its customers to make note of this symbol and avoid putting any WEEE in your domestic waste bin(s) or container(s).
STI Ltd supports the reuse and recycling of WEEE as there are several environmental benefits of doing so, such as: Reduction of raw material and energy usage, prevention of landfill, prevention of hazardous and/or toxic materials present in some WEEE contaminating the environment.
As a Producer under the UK WEEE Regulations, STI Ltd complies with its Producer Obligations by being registered as a Member of the WeeeCare Compliance Scheme and obtaining the WEEE Producer Registration Number – WEE/BE0324XQ.
As a B2B Producer under the UK WEEE Regulations, STI Ltd allows for end users of the EEE placed on the market in the UK to return WEEE back to us free of charge on a like-for-like basis for new EEE purchased. Such WEEE can be returned to us at our Taylor House address, 34 Sherwood Road, Bromsgrove B60 3DR; or alternatively contact WeeeCare.
If you would prefer us to collect your WEEE from your premises, please contact us as there will be a transport charge for such WEEE from your premises and delivery of such WEEE to an Approved Authorised Treatment Facility (AATF). The charge will only cover the cost of transportation and handling and will not include any cost in relation to the treatment or reprocessing of WEEE as defined by the Regulations.
Alternatively, there is a network of recycling centres across the UK where consumers of WEEE can also take WEEE free of charge to be discarded, reused and/or recycled. The complete list of locations can be found at: www.recyclenow.com.
In addition, if a retailer supplying new EEE from retail premises with a sales area relating to EEE of at least 400m², the retailer must provide for the takeback of very small WEEE free of charge to the end user, who has no obligation to buy EEE of an equivalent type.
