Health and safety
What does the law require? The briefest guide....
All businesses must look after staff, visitors.....well, everyone really!
If you have more than 5 employees, you must have;
- A written safety policy (general organisation, arrangements, responsibilities, etc)
- Written risk assessments (an analytical document to help identify and then eliminate/control safety problems)
Competent staff are also an important element; knowledge, experience, and attitude. So training comes into it, too.
The law does have some specific requirements for things like asbestos, lifting equipment testing, pressurised systems, etc.
