Health & Safety
Checklist for Employers
Health and Safety is not about red tape or unnecessary paperwork, it is about sensible actions that protect people.
All businesses are responsible for protecting the Health and Safety of their workers and any other people who might be affected by their work.
The ten points below cover areas/actions that are legally required from most businesses and will hopefully result in your answer being YES:
Have you registered your business with the Health and Safety Executive or your Local Authority?
Is your Certificate of Employer’s Liability Compulsory Insurance clearly displayed in your workplace?
Do you have a competent person/competent advice helping you to meet your Health and Safety responsibilities?
Do you have an up to date Health and Safety Policy that explains how you intend to manage health and safety for your business?
Do you have comprehensive Risk Assessments covering what could harm people and the precautions you take?
Have you acted on the findings of your Risk Assessments by implementing sensible controls to prevent accidents and ill health?
Do you provide free health and safety training to your staff that informs them of what risks they may face and how to deal with them?
Have you consulted your staff on Health and Safety?
Do you display the Health and Safety Law poster or provide leaflets with the information?
Do you know which work-related accidents, diseases and dangerous occurrences must be reported to the Health and Safety Executive?
If you answered NO to any of the points, Access Training & Consultancy are able to offer a comprehensive assessment of your Health and Safety requirements through our free Health Check.
