Health and Safety Policy Communication

Developing a Safety Statement is the first step as this defines the Organisations policy to Health and Safety. The next step is to communicate this policy at all levels of the organisation to embed Health and Safety in the culture of the organisation. Don’t let your Health and Safety Statement gather dust, use it as a plan and implement it’s actions.

Under the current Health and Safety legislation, Employers have a responsibility to provide clear information to employees on workplace hazards and risks identified, on protective and preventative measures taken.

Communication

The employer must ensure that the safety representatives and designated competent persons have access to:

• Risk Assessments
• Reportable incident and accident policy
• Information on protective and preventative measures

Training

The employer must provide clear and effective instruction and training to employees on health and safety matters Training must be provided on recruitment, when an employee is transferred, when their tasks change. The use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) should be demonstrated to employees.

Our consultants are ideally suited to deliver communications, training and awareness programs that will implement your Health and Safety Policy in the workplace.
