It doesn’t matter how big or small your business is—you’ll have health & safety requirements. Managing risks is easier for some organisations than others, but there are certain issues that all employers will face.
Managing health and safety
The main authority on the management of health & safety at work is the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
They suggest a ‘Plan, Do, Check, Act’ approach. This works as follows:
Plan: Identify the risks in your business and plan how to manage each risk.
Do: Prioritise and control your risks. Consult with employee, and provide training and appropriate information.
Check: Measure the impact of your management systems and continually assess risks.
Act: Learn from your measurements and experiences.
