Health and Safety Policies and Procedures

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require all employers to effectively plan, organise, control, monitor and review their health and safety systems and procedures. For your health and safety policies and procedures to be effectively implemented, they need to be:

• up-to-date
• relevant
• practical
• comprehensible.

We can draft health and safety policies and procedures from scratch or simply review and update existing material. Whichever route you choose, we work closely with you to ensure legal compliance and workable procedures.

Benefits

• Efficient use of time - our health and safety consultants know what legislation is relevant to your business and the best way to implement it
• Keep up to date - we can let you know when policies need to be reviewed due to new legislation or best practice
• Don't reinvent the wheel - model policies and procedures are available for you to adapt
• Practical approach - our policies and procedures are written to be used, not to be filed and forgotten.

Our approach

• Practical, tailor made solutions to meet each client's unique business requirements
• Consultants can provide resource and expertise working with your existing team
• We can manage and deliver a full health and safety policy, plan and procedures for you
• Project stages often include:
  • A review of current health and safety procedures, systems and practices, comparing them against current legislation, guidelines and best practice
  • Development of plans and policies for areas not already covered
  • Recommendations for change and revision of existing policies
  • Making the revisions
  • Regular review of documents for which this is a legal requirement.

Typical projects

• Preparation and revision of health and safety policies for the Trade Union Congress (TUC)
• Preparation of the evacuation policy and procedures for staff and visitors with disabilities from the TUC's offices in London
• Revision of health and safety procedures for Ernst & Young, including risk assessment, management of contractors, manual handling, permit to work, inspections, etc.
• Development of a procedure for risk assessments of off-site working for the Commission for Health Improvement
• Divising and implementing a health and safety strategy for the Museum of London.

What do our clients say?

We have been very pleased with the way the System Concepts team have picked up the project and run with it, kept us informed about progress and concentrated on the high priority areas which will have the most impact on the health, safety, productivity and morale of our staff and visitors.
