Risk Assessments

As part of managing the health and safety of your business you must control the risks in your workplace. To do this you need to think about what might cause harm to people and decide whether you are taking reasonable steps to prevent that harm. This is known as risk assessment and it is something you are required by law to carry out. This could include health and safety or fire.

Safe systems of work

A “safe system of work” is an umbrella phrase for describing methods of carrying out tasks in ways which minimise the risks associated with the tasks.

Policies and Procedures

Policies are clear, simple statements of how your organisation intends to conduct its services, actions or business. They provide a set of guiding principles to help with decision making.

Procedures describe how each policy will be put into action in your organisation.

Each procedure should outline:

  • Who will do what
  • What steps they need to take
  • Which forms or documents to use
