I recently had the pleasure of working with Sue (Safety Sue!) from Safety Sorted – which is a health and safety consultancy based in Weston-super-Mare and it blew my mind the amount of Health and Safety procedures and documents there are out there!
For starters every industry has to abide by certain health and safety laws, which is understandable but then I looked at the cost involved in making sure your business is up to scratch with these laws, policies, documents, time and energy needed to apply yourself to sort this out. Having NO IDEA what health and safety policies in particular I would need to follow – I took their questionnaire which asks a few simple questions and then emails you a list of all the required policies you should be aware of.
Looking at the state of this country and how important health and safety seems to be and how difficult it is often to implement such policies in your business I found that being given a list of what I should at least be *aware* of was very handy. I did look through the site and see that Safety Sorted offer a variety of “health and safety contracts” available but for my use I found the individual policies more appealing, being able to download, edit to my needs and then put into place in my business was very useful.
At least this way its another corner of my business that I should be able to keep covered. Has anyone else had experience with Health and Safety issues in the workplace?
