As you may or may not be aware if you have a company or business in the United Kingdom that employs five or more people you must have a written health and safety policy in place. Now this can be completed in house by you or a manager but let me point out some of the pitfalls with this. You may not have considered everything in your policy including employee’s welfare, risk assessments, your legal requirements and so on. Also you may not know this but you could actually lose contracts after releasing your health and safety policy for review. That’s right when you are asked for your health and safety policy by main contractors, local governments and anyone else who may be considering giving you work, they actually read through your health and safety policy and arrangements to see how well you perform. Now please believe me when I say that we have had hundreds off people come to us wondering why they are never busy with work as there prices are competitive, there service is good but still they never seem to get many big contracts. They have never considered that there health and safety policy is to blame. Now not only do you need a good policy for getting more work it is also a legal requirement and the original reason for its existence is to keep your workforce and anyone affected by your work safe. I am happy to tell you that I have found some good sites like www.healthandsafetypolicy.info that will complete a full up to date legal health and safety policy and other services including risk assessments, method statements, COSHH assessments, manual handling, Training courses and health and safety advisory services all for a most competitive price. I will list more similar sites after my final statement for this post witch is this. Could you afford for one of your staff to be off work for months with an injury caused by work? Then have to pay out a huge settlement in court because you were not properly covered. Then see your insurance premiums rocket as for your track record what company in there right mind would now use you with a health and safety record like yours? Or would it be more cost affective to pay someone £250.00 to sort it all out for you? Bye for now Steven Howard These are the links www.healthwithsafety.com www.knightsafety.co.uk
