You probably know that if you have over four employees (including part-time workers and directors) you must by law have a health & safety policy. The policy should demonstrate your commitment to health and safety and detail the arrangements within your organisation to ensure the health, safety and welfare of those who work for you and other people who may be affected by your business.

But are you aware of your legal responsibility to carry out and review your risk assessments which implement and manage measures for ensuring the health & safety of your employees and other people?. Risk assessments should be carried out by a competent person and many organisations call in outside help to assist in this process.

An external audit can help you to review and re-assess your health & safety documents, policy and procedures, and recommended any actions that need to be taken to ensure that you are compliant with the latest legislation and good practice.

The audit will also give clarity to all employees or contractors regarding safety in the workplace. Assistance in the training of staff can help you to ensure that your workers understand the implications of their own responsibilities under the law, and in the implementation of measures designed to help protect their health and safety.

Stay Safe
Your health & safety policy and risk assessments must be relevant and up to date, to minimise the risks to you, your business, your employees and other visitors to your premises.

If you have already produced a policy and some documentation more than twelve months ago, - it's probably time to review it. To make sure you are compliant, an external audit can be just what you need.

We can provide you with access to the service that you need for your business. For your own sake, and that of your business and other people, ask for a health & safety audit.
