As an employer, you are responsible for managing health and safety in your company. This involves managing risks and taking practical steps to protect workers and others from harm.
Managing risk is just one part of health and safety management. You must also have arrangements in place to:
- Make the right plans
- Implement those plans
- Check they are working
- Act if they are not
The measures you put in place should be part of your everyday processes for managing your business.
