Management of Health & Safety at Work - CDROM

Introduction

How do you assess risks at work? All health & safety measures in the UK stem from the 1974 Health & Safety Act. Further updates have been added and adopted by the EC.

The Health & Safety Commission produces regulations and codes of conduct in the UK, which are enforced by the Health & Safety Executive. In order to assess risks, hazards need to be reviewed and priorities established. This is only the beginning as it is a requirement for management to have protective and preventive measures in place to cope with emergencies at work. Ideally, risks should be eliminated with constant surveillance of the health of all, plus rigorous compliance with the safety regulations.

You are taken through the procedures, which in an emergency can save lives and for which training is given. Co-operation is co-ordinated in the workplace to comply with relevant Health & Safety legislation and ensure the health of all at work.
