Description
Looking at the needs of small businesses, this book takes you through all the aspects of Health and Safety management in a small business
step-by-step. It takes a straightforward, practical approach to identifying, organising and managing Health, Safety and Fire risks in
your business. Whatever your motivation for choosing this guide, it will provide a sound basis for establishing a system or approach
that is relevant to the individual business concerned.
Practical Health and Safety Management for Small Businesses will help you to
identify all the potential hazards, offering advice on how best to look after your employees and how to manage Health and Safety in your
business. It has been produced as a direct result of recent research, based on discussions with Health and Safety Inspectors, the Fire
Authorities, Insurance representatives, Health and Safety professionals, and of course, Small Businesses themselves. Taking into account
the practical issues faced in small business units, this guide takes you through all the main aspects of managing fire, health and safety
step-by-step.
Practical Health and Safety Management for Small Businesses will help you establish a system that you can maintain, add-to
and keep up-to-date as official regulations and your needs change. It is NOT a legal textbook, but IS a practical guide on how to establish
an approach to organising and managing these issues. While following this guide cannot guarantee that your business now fully complies
with all the relevant legislation that applies to it, it does enable you to demonstrate to others that you have made a reasonable attempt
at bringing all these different elements together in a structured, holistic way.
Full of practical advice sample Site Plans and Checklists,
photographs and industry-specific sections, Practical Health and Safety Management for Small Businesses will prove an invaluable guide
for all those involved in running smaller business units, as well as those offering support, advice or guidance to SMEs.
