Management System



To comply with the requirements of the Health & Saftey at Work etc Act 1974, every business needs a Health & Saftey Managment System.

This Management System covers three principle areas - The Statement of Intent, the Organisation and the Arrangements.  It is sometimes referred to as a Health & Safety Policy and is made up as follows:

  1. A Health & Safety Policy Statement of Intent.  This shows acceptance by the Management Team of their responsibilities.  It should ensure that health and safety is applied to all business activities.

     
  2. That there is an adequate Organisation established, which is able to implement the undertakings presented in the Statement. This section should include display of an organisation chart, to clarify the interaction between various members of staff, together with a section outlining each management individual's responsibilities, together with the health and safety role allocated to each category of staff within the organisation

     
  3. The Arrangements Section includes, specifically, what management has in place to help run the business, in the way of communicating with staff, clients and customers, what resources there are, what risk assessments are conducted and what steps are taken to ensure compliance with current Legislation. Particular aspects of this include strategies for dealing with workplace concerns over Fire Safety, First Aid, Manual Handling. Control of Substances Hazardous to Health, Personal Protective Equipment usage, management of contractors, on site welfare, security and hygiene, etc. 


We also produce, when specially requested, individual employee Health & Safety Handbooks, for use by employees working away from base, or as contractors at a client's customer site

As a matter of course, we print extra copies of the Fire and First Aid Notices, which are within the Management System, so that they may be displayed at strategic positions throughout client premises, to provide valuable assistance in an emergency

Anthill can create this for your organisation.
