The safety of any workforce is not only a moral but also a legal duty under the Health and Safety at Work etc Act 1974. A company must legally demonstrate they are doing what is reasonably practicable to keep their employees and those involved in their work acts and omissions safe from harm and ill health.
Failure to evidence an effective health and safety management system can lead to significant fines and prohibitions from the health and safety executive (HSE). It is also a legal requirement under the Management of Health and Safety at Work regulations 1999 that company must have a competent health and safety consultant to ensure a company is doing what they need to do and know what they need to know with regards to health and safety.
At McKinney Haarcourt we believe that Health and Safety Management Systems (HSMS) needn’t be complicated and our qualified, certified and time-served H&S Consultants can work with you and advise on best practice, methodology and how to effectively discharge your legal duty under relevant H&S legislation.
