General Safety

General

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 applies to all businesses, no matter how small, and every employer has a duty of care not only to its employees but also to others who come into contact with the business such as contractors and members of the public. The Act requires that there is a robust health and safety management system in place to ensure that risks are identified and minimised, and that a competent person is appointed with the necessary skills, knowledge and experience to manage health and safety, either from within or from outside the organisation. If you do not have the required competence within your business, we can assist you in the following areas:

  • Health and safety policies and procedures
  • Legal compliance audits
  • Audits of management systems
  • Workplace inspections
  • Risk assessments
  • Method statements
  • COSHH risk assessments
  • DSE risk assessments
  • Accident investigation
  • Occupational health monitoring
  • In-house training
