A Health & Safety audit reviews the safety performance across your organisation and reviews how Health & Safety is managed. The audit will review the company policies, risk assessments, training, communication and provision for first aid. A detailed action plan will be provided to identify areas where the organisation can make improvements to their management system.
The control of risks is necessary to meet the legal requirements within the workplace. Risk assessments identify potential risks within your work place and identify the control measures to reduce the risk. 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.
