Guide to Managing Health and Safety in Your Workplace

September 2017

In support of Small Business Advice Week here in the UK, we’ve put together this quick guide offering tips and guidance on how to better manage health and safety in your workplace.

Why should you manage workplace health and safety?

Accidents and work-related ill-health affect all types of workplaces and occupations.

Poor health and safety management can lead to high costs in terms of sick pay, absence and claims for compensation. SME’s can also find themselves facing criminal prosecution and harm to both business reputation and profitability.

The vast majority of occupational injuries, incidents and ill health are avoidable with good health and safety management.

However, good health and safety management can lead to an improved wider organisational health and safety culture.

Our range of workplace courses are designed to improve the skills and knowledge of your workforce and are tailored to suit your business needs.

Need extra advice on managing health and safety?

We understand that organisations face many challenges to overcome in protecting their workforce and achieving legal compliance.

Whether you need additional resources, specialist technical advice, or independent consultative support, we can work alongside you to help you to achieve your health and safety goals with our consultation services. Click below to find out more!

  • "Generally the course covers basic health and safety across many industries at a level which is both useful but not TOO in depth. I work in bio-sciences but understood the sections referring to construction well and found much of the course to be quite transferable. Speed of learning is good. Certain parts of the course (asbestos springs to mind) made questionable claims however the course allows this sort of thing to be flagged as feedback."
