Health & Safety, ISO 45001
February 2, 2023
Occupational health and safety is an important aspect of any business. Keeping your employees and visitors safe should be a key priority, but managing your policies and ensuring you are compliant with all legislation can be a time-consuming and confusing process. Research has shown that over 200 people were killed in work-related industries in 2021/2022, while a further 1.8 million suffered from a work-related illness. These figures show the importance of the management of health and safety at work, but it can be tough to know where to start when it comes to creating your own workplace policy. Working with a professional health and safety specialist, such as our team here at Critical Path, will give you the peace of mind that you are compliant and that everyone in your workplace is safe. The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 covers the legislation that every workplace needs to follow. This covers employers, government offices and self-employed individuals and makes sure that they are responsible for all employees and members of the public safety. Our team here at Critical Path understands the importance of health and safety, which is why we work closely with our clients, supporting them to ensure that they remain compliant with all relevant regulations. This ensures that you are not only reducing the risk of litigation, helping you to avoid costly legal proceedings. We pride ourselves on offering a comprehensive approach to our management of health and safety at work, ensuring our clients can enjoy the very best experience possible. Some of the key reasons you should work with us include: We know that no two businesses are the same.
