Health & Safety Management Training

Have you got Health and Safety under control?

The Health and Safety at Work act 1974 states that you must be aware of the potential risks and hazards that may arise in your workplace and any that are involved in the work you are carrying out. This is especially important if you are in charge of work activity or an employer because you have a legal obligation to inform everyone concerned.

The mistake is to believe that accidents happen in highly unusual or exeptional circumstances and never in your workplace. This is not the case. Some basic forward thinking and planning could usually prevent them from happening.

Implementing Health and Safety measures doesn't have to be expensive, time consuming or complicated but it does have to be in place. In fact safer and more efficient practices can often save money, but more importantly can potentially save lives  

Managing Health and Safety in the workplace is different to most other aspects of business as it is an ongoing precess that is constantly updating.

• A Health and Safety representative must be appointed
• Risk assessments must compiled and recorded
• Sensible measures must be implemented to reduce the risks to acceptable levels
• These must then be controlled and enforced

Have you considered?:

• Who is responsible for my Health and Safety related matters?
• Do Health and Safety laws apply to me?
• Who enfoces and polices Health and Safety laws?
• When were risk assessments last updated?
