Our goal \\ To adapt and customise approaches to help the increasing numbers of SMEs in different sectors comply with their health and safety obligations.
Our goal \\ To encourage strong leadership in championing the importance of, and a common-sense approach to, health and safety in the workplace.
Our goal \\ To motivate focus on the core aims of health and safety and, by doing so, to help risk makers and managers distinguish between real health and safety issues and trivial or ill-informed criticism.
Small businesses and other organisations make an important contribution to Great Britain’s economic prosperity. They also account for a considerable number of health and safety incidents reported each year. Small businesses are not inherently dangerous but some do conduct certain activities that carry a high level of risk.
Small businesses often find goal-based health and safety management difficult to apply. That is why HSE, local authorities and all services involved with small businesses are finding new ways to help small businesses understand how to comply with health and safety law in a way which is proportionate to the risks posed by their work activities.
