HEALTH AND SAFETY

• Health and safety (H&S) is an inherent part of the activity of any organisation. Having a clear and fit for purpose health and safety policy, is not only a duty of any company, regardless its size, but a moral, financial and legal duty.

​

• The Health and Safety at work act 1974 states the duties of any organisation, employer and employees, to manage risks.

​

• A clear and simple approach to H&S is unfortunately not common. Most of the H&S policies are designed as generic forms, and not necessarily related to the company that they represent, leaving the companies at odds. H&S can be made simple and clear, whilst not missing any of the aspects that are statutory: H&S policy and statement, Risk assessments, method statements, emergency plans, Personal Emergency Evacuation Plan, fire strategy, M&E records, Building accident book, Training records, etc.

​

A well implemented H&S culture, will result in lower incident ratio, savings, motivation, efficiency and credibility.
