Simple Safety Across all Sectors
Whatever your type of business, you need to take account of health and safety, in order to protect yourself, your employees and your customers.
Our Simple Safety toolkit is aimed at small businesses, and includes:
- Simple Safety Data Sheets - hand these out to your staff or put on your notice board. These data sheets outline in very basic terms the key issues to watch out for
- Simple Safety Briefings - content for you to use at staff inductions, training sessions or one-on-one sessions
Subjects range from a quick overview of what your workers' Safety Representative does, to a guide on how to prepare your Safety Statement and keep safety records
