Plan Do Check Act – Is Your Workplace Compliant?

​​We know that Health and Safety is not the sexiest of topics. It is, however, vitally important in all areas of working and personal life to keep those we have a responsibility to safe and well.

---

We are passionate about keeping you safe, providing you with information and an understanding of what your responsibilities are, as not being compliant could lead to devastating consequences for both organisations and individuals. Sanctions include fines, imprisonment and disqualification.
 
This blog is not designed to scare you, it’s providing you with the facts on the importance of getting heath and safety right.
 
As an employer, you must use someone competent to help you meet your health and safety duties. Who is this person within your business? Is it you? Is it one of your team? Is it someone outside your business? It could be a combination of all.
 
Whoever you choose should have the skills, knowledge and experience to manage health and safety.

What are your Legal responsibilities as an employer?
 
Health and safety law states that organisations must:
 

• assess risks to employees, customers, partners and any other people who could be affected by their activities;
• arrange for the effective planning, organisation, control, monitoring and review of preventive and protective measures;
• have a written health and safety policy if they employ five or more people;
• ensure they have access to competent health and safety advice;
• consult employees about their risks at work and current preventive and protective measures.
