Good Practice Guide to Health and Safety

By managing health and safety with the same degree of expertise and diligence as all other areas of the business, for example financial management, will effectively control risks; prevent harm to people and loss to the business. To be fully effective health and safety management should be closely integrated into all management activity and should form part of an all-embracing system for loss control.

Best practice in this context, therefore, means establishing a management system to control health and safety that is well structured, comprehensive and subject to audit and review to ensure its continued relevance and effectiveness.

This guide is intended for Senior Managers with a responsibility for Occupational Health and Safety to assist them in the development and implementation of a health and safety management system and loss control system. The guide does not set out to address chapter and verse with regard to complying with legislation or solving particular problems. The aim is rather to describe how an UKSPA member can put into place an organization and management system that will promote compliance with legislation and safe working that is geared to risk management and loss control.
