Health & Safety Awareness Course FAQ’s
The 3 main reasons for managing health and safety are Moral, Legal and Financial. Course H&S Awareness course will cover these reasons in depth.
Both the employer, and the employee are responsible for health & safety in the workplace.
The law says that every business must have a policy for managing health and safety. If you have five or more employees, you must write your policy down. If you have fewer than five employees you do not have to write anything down, but it is useful to do so. You must share the policy, and any changes to it, with your employees.
A health and safety policy sets out your general approach to health and safety. It explains how you, as an employer, will manage health and safety in your business. It should clearly say who does what, when and how.
