MANAGING HEALTH & SAFETYControlling dangers at work is no different from tackling any other task – recognising the problem, knowing enough about it, deciding what to do & then putting the solution into practice. Although the law requires Health & Safety policies & Risk Assessments they do have a practical purpose, namely to help you set out your stall & to get the balance right between the size of any Health & Safety problems & what you should do about them. Below we have highlighted a number of key requirements & what relevant law(s) apply. 1. Employers with 5 or more employees should have a written Health & Safety policy. 2. All employers & the self-employed have to assess the risks from their work activities. 3. Employers with 5 or more employees have to record all significant findings of their risk assessment. 4. Employers have to consult their employees or their employees' representatives on certain Health & Safety matters. 5. Employers have to provide Health & Safety training for employees.
