HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT
The last 10 years have seen the full impact of Health & Safety legislation into the workplace. If it is not implemented properly with managed documentation and process and is not effective or controlled in the work place, it places huge risk to the safety of your staff and will expose the viability of your business. According to the legislation, any business that employs five or more people (including Directors) needs to document and implement a health and safety policy. The health and safety policy (also known as risk management system) is your starting point if you would like to operate a healthy and reputable business. That's why you need to get it right from the start!
Here are some facts for you to consider. According to Workmobile’s safety report "27% of staff who have received and read their company’s health and safety manual thought that the information didn’t go into enough detail about their role and the dangers they could face, or how to deal with risky situations." That’s more than a quarter and it’s putting the lives of your workers at unnecessary risk. Risks created by the company itself, not by unexpected or natural events.
Sometimes, it can be hard to piece together a well-functioning health and safety strategy, especially if you are pressed for time or lack sufficient resources. Smaller organisations may fail to adequately address workplace safety – not because of indifference or apathy - but due to the challenges of the countless demands faced in the course of daily business. If you are one of those business owners who are eager to make safety a key part of their business, then you have made the first and most important step towards being a great leader- you see what truly matters from the right perspective! What you actually need now is professional guidance on where to start.
You may assume that this is costly, but the truth is it will surely be not as much as what you will have to pay if you are prosecuted! You can now be charged even in cases where no harm has occurred if it is judged that your actions have not been suitable or sufficient. Safety2Business will work with you to produce a bespoke health and safety policy/management system which will set out your requirements from your business. Once it is produced we will ensure it is published, read and religiously followed by your staff.
