How do we develop health and safety management systems?

The development of any health and safety management system will firstly take into account legislation that applies to your workplace and ensure that as a minimum you are complying with your legal duties.

We will then work with businesses and their staff teams to identify:

• Current health and safety performance
• Where the business needs to be
• How they are going to get there

An action plan will be created with clear responsibilities and timescales for completion.  The necessary steps will then be put in place to support:

• The effective implementation of the management system
• Measuring of health and safety performance
• Acting on findings and review practices where necessary
