 Complying with health and safety law can be an onerous task. Managed properly however good health and safety systems can help reduce costs and improve efficiency and therefore profits. Riskmonitor takes a pragmatic approach to help you achieve and maintain a positive health and safety culture throughout your organisationcan.
All organisations with 5 or more employees are required by UK law to have:
- A documented health and safety policy
- Documented risk assessments for all significant hazards
- Access to competent health & safety advice.
Our team operates throughout the UK and can provide assistance in a number of areas.
Health & Safety Gap Analysis:
Many organisations benefit from our “Health & Safety GAP analysis”. Our consultants will audit the policies, procedures and systems you already have in place and carry out a full physical inspection of your workplace(s). A full report is then generated including prioritised recommendations and practical guidance on how to carry them out. You may elect to then carry out the required actions yourself, at no further cost, or choose to use our consultants to provide ongoing support.
Health & Safety Policy:
We compile health & safety policies to ensure compliance with the law. We will liaise with your key staff in developing the policy, which will incorporate:
- A statement of management intent
- Organisational structure and specific responsibilities
- Procedural arrangements for ensuring the policies are implemented properly
- Review arrangements
Following completion, we will assist to ensure that all employees are made aware of the policy and its relevant contents.
Risk Assessments
Suitable and sufficient risk assessments should be the cornerstone of any good health & safety management system, and are required by UK law for all significant hazards e.g. fire, machinery, asbestos, electricity, water provision, food processing, violence, stress, vehicles, slips/trips, manual handling, hazardous substances, etc.
Riskmonitor's team can assist with conducting these risk assessments.
