To comply with Health and Safety At Work Act 1974, all companies with over 5 employees or more have to have various documents such as a Health and Safety Policy in place.

If a company gets caught without the appropriate documentation, they can get fined and even face imprisonment.

In addition, documents like risk assessments prevent accidents within the work place which can cost money to the employer (e.g. sickness pay, loss of productivity, staff costs).

Issues that you as a company may have:

• Is there someone competent to check my health and safety?
• Have I got health and safety best practice within the company?
• What about health and safety practices from key suppliers and contractors that I use?
• Have I checked that everyone has attended the right health and safety courses and briefings and is working competently?
• Have I got plans to provide health and safety induction for anyone new to the organisation/my team?
• Do staff know what to do regarding health and safety?
• Do my staff believe they are working in a positive health and safety culture?
• Do I know how much ill health/absences is costing my organisation?
• Do we have a programme that supports people when they are ill or return to work after an absence?
