Management of Health and Safety

Good Health and Safety management is vital in ensuring that safe practices are adopted and maintained throughout your organisation.

In order to achieve this, the following areas need to be considered:

The health and safety policy is a good starting point to improve the health and safety culture throughout your organisation. This will provide you and your employees with fundamental information about the principle of health and safety and will confirm your company’s intent on providing a safe place to work.

It is essential that your business demonstrates safe practices, which will inevitably motivate and empower employees to follow by their good example.

Through a systematic and planned approach, the implementation of health and safety improvements is made easier. Risk assessment methods, as described in this workbook, are essential in helping you achieve the standards required by health and safety legislation. Effective communication between employers and employees within the organisation is also paramount. When carrying out risk assessments, the input, knowledge and experience of staff is invaluable.

Pro-active monitoring is a continual process looking at your health and safety management systems, procedures and equipment. This enables you to identify deterioration in equipment or deficiencies in work activities and enables you to identify training needs for staff.

Following accidents, incidents or near misses, reactive monitoring and investigation should be used to identify the underlying causes. Once
