These include; manual handling, Display Screen Equipment, Occupational Stress, Slips, Trips and Falls.
We can assist in writing suitable and sufficient risk assessments for your organisation.
The Health & Safety policy of a company identifies the way in which Health & Safety is managed within your organisation. It outlines the statement of intent, identifies roles and responsibilities for managing Health & Safety within the company and the arrangements in place. There is a legal requirement to have a Health & Safety policy in place if you have 5 or more employees. Even with fewer than 5 employees, a written policy identifies the organisations intent to look after the health, safety and wellbeing of their workforce.
