Health and Safety with Due Diligence Solutions

For many organisations the complexities of trying to ensure compliance with the requirements of the wide range of health and safety legislation makes it difficult to know where to start.

The Health and Safety at Work Act 1974

This is the main piece of health and safety legislation that sets out our general obligations.

Health and Safety Regulations

There are a number of detailed rules for specific health & safety issues, such as:

• Management of health & safety
• Chemicals & hazardous substances
• Manual handling
• Working at height
• Display screen equipment (DSE)
• Reporting of accidents

The introduction of the Corporate Manslaughter and Corporate Homicide Act 2007, has introduced more concern for businesses as the new legislation has made it much easier to prosecute organisations following a fatality in the workplace.

For a successful prosecution, there must have been a gross breach in the duty of care and the death was because of management failures in the way activities were managed or organised and that these caused death.

This means that in today's business environment there is simply no substitute for good health and safety management.
