Did you know every business with five or more employees is required by law to have a written health and safety policy?

Even if you don’t meet this threshold, a well-designed health and safety policy has many benefits. As well as ensuring legal compliance, it shows your staff that you value their safety. This can work wonders for morale, improving productivity and attracting the best talent to your company.

Health and safety policies and procedures are not something to be rushed. For them to be effective, they need to be based on a thorough and accurate evaluation of your workplace. This is a lot to ask, especially for smaller companies with limited time and resources. Luckily, we can help.

At The Health & Safety Dept, we have years of experience in designing health and safety policies and procedures for businesses of all kinds. Our experts will take care of everything, from inspecting your site to drafting the policies and procedures themself. We can even review existing policies and procedures to make sure nothing has been missed.

A solid risk assessment is the cornerstone of workplace health and safety. You have a legal and moral responsibility to protect your employees from danger, and you can’t do this without first examining and recording these dangers.

A good risk assessment does more than identify surface-level risks. It goes deeper, rooting out hidden dangers and finding the employees who might be especially vulnerable. Getting this right takes practice, but it can make a huge difference to overall safety.

When a business employs five people or more (including the employer), it is required by law to have an H&S competent person. Many choose to outsource this role to an independent expert like us. This is a great way to ensure that nothing is missed, but this approach can be complemented with in-house training, and our eLearning courses are a fast and cost-effective way to do this.

We offer accredited online courses in every possible aspect of health and safety, including risk assessments. Our specially designed risk assessment module will teach you everything you need to create and implement a highly effective risk assessment. eLearning courses can be completed in as little as 30 minutes, making them a great way to upskill your staff without disrupting the daily workflow. Give us a call to find out more.
