Health and Safety
Managing health and safety is little different from managing any other aspect
of your business. You need to do a risk assessment to find out about the risks
in your workplace, put sensible measures in place to control them, and make sure
they stay controlled.
Health and safety policy clearly sets out how you manage health and safety in your workplace by defining who does what; and when and how they do it.
