What is health and safety in business?
It refers to the policies, procedures, and practices that are mandatory to prevent workplace accidents, injuries, and illnesses to employees, customers, or visitors. It’s your duty of care as an employer to follow the guidelines outlined in the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974.
How does health and safety affect a business?
By following UK laws, your business can expect lower levels of absenteeism, higher productivity, lower insurance costs, and a positive business reputation. Looking after your working environment and workforce pays off as a long-term investment, as this promotes a safe, secure, and welcoming workplace.
What health and safety do I need for my business?
It’s mandatory for your business to:
- Manage workplace risks
- Appoint a competent person to manage safety
- Establish a health and safety policy
- Conduct risk assessments
- Offer staff training
- Maintain safe working facilities
- Acquire appropriate insurance
Why is health and safety important in business?
It’s vital as it protects employees, customers, and any visitors from injury or illness. Failure to comply with UK laws may affect your business significantly, such as through costly employment tribunals, low staff morale, and high levels of absenteeism. These can be very damaging for your business’s reputation, which is why it’s vital to match industry best practices.
Does every UK business need a health and safety policy?
Yes, it’s a legal requirement for all businesses. You must prepare and maintain a written statement detailing your policies and how you’re managing the situation internally. It’s also your responsibility to make all members of staff aware of the policy.
