Managing your health and safety programme
Health and safety law applies to all businesses, however small. It covers employees, full- or part-time, temporary or permanent, the self-employed, young people doing work experience, apprentices, charity workers, mobile workers and home-workers. If you hire temps or casuals from agencies you have health and safety responsibilities towards them too.
Controlling danger at work is no different from any other task – you need to recognise problems, know enough about them, decide what to do and act on the solutions. Following this model you will successfully manage health and safety for your business.
