Risk Assessment and Safety Statement
The Safety Statement is a written document based on the Risk Assessment. It describes the risks and hazards of a workplace, the Control Measures that have been put into place and how safety in the workplace will be evaluated on an ongoing basis.
In order to comply with current legislation, an UP TO DATE, WRITTEN SAFETY STATEMENT must be implemented by all employers, including the self-employed.
Achieving Health & Safety Compliance
- SafeHands will come and talk to you at your premises to assess your requirements.
- SafeHands will carry out a complete survey of your site and premises evaluating work procedures, work processes, work equipment, management and workers.
- SafeHands will provide you with a Health & Safety Manual which incorporates a complete and site specific hazard analysis and Risk Assessment Survey.
- SafeHands will include control suggestions to eliminate or control risks, forming the foundation of your Health and Safety Statement and reflecting your organisation's commitment to safety in the workplace.
- SafeHands will arrange a meeting to handover and familiarise management with the contents of the Safety Statement.
Health & Safety Inspections
Be Prepared for a HSA Inspection
The Health & Safety Authority (HSA) operates it's own inspectorate which has extensive powers under the law. Don't wait until you're caught out - it's much cheaper to be prepared than to face the expense, loss of business and damage to your reputation from a failed inspection.
Have you failed an inspection?
SafeHands has successfully helped every single business who has taken our advice in their dealings with the HSA.
