| FACT 1: |
IT’S THE LAW & IT’S NOT OPTIONAL! |
|
If you have one employee (however few
hours they work) you have to do Health & Safety.
If you have 5 or more employees,
you have to write it all down in a Policy Document. This must
include a STATEMENT, RESPONSIBILITIES LIST or CHART and the
ARRANGEMENTS. These are the Policies, Risk Assessments, Audits
and forms with which you can prove
your management of Health & Safety,
the competence of your
staff to whom you have delegated responsibilities and
your
‘due diligence’ to the authorities. |
| |
| FACT 2: |
BREACHING HEALTH & SAFETY LAW IS A CRIMINAL OFFENCE! |
| FACT 3: |
NEVER, EVER IS IGNORANCE A DEFENCE! |
Criminal and civil law courts, employment
tribunals, insurance companies, the media - none of these accept
excuses and
As Easyjet’s founder Stelios says “If you think Health & Safety is
expensive, try having an accident!” |
| |
| FACT 4: |
BEING UP-TO-DATE WITH HEALTH & SAFETY ENSURES PEACE OF MIND! |
|
You won’t have to worry about that huge
weight on your shoulders, being front-page news for all the
wrong reasons or not being able to provide solicitors and
insurance companies with relevant paperwork.
All of that and more, without even
mentioning that if your most important asset (your employees)
gets hurt, who’s going to staff reception, clinics,
administration and surgery facilities? |
| |
| FACT 5: |
HEALTH & SAFETY ISN’T ROCKET SCIENCE! |
|
If you can run a Practice, you can “DO” Health & Safety” – you
may just need a bit of help from us to get it sorted! |
