From February 2016, HSE convictions brought against employers and business owners for health and safety failings have incurred much higher fines and penalties. A total of £38.3 million in the first year.

All employers must comply with The Management of Health and Safety in the Workplace Regulations 1999. Where there are more than five employees, all health and safety procedures must be written down. Every business must have suitable and sufficient risk assessments to reduce risks of injury and ill health and set out a clear Safe System of Work (SSW) for people to be able to follow.

It can be a daunting task to start to put a health and safety management system together from the beginning, but I doubt that many businesses have nothing in place. So what is there can be built upon, so that it not only complies with the Health and Safety at Work Act. 1974, but is also the tool to train and educate directors, senior managers, supervisors and staff alike.
