Fully comprehensive Health and Safety manual for any type
and size of organisation
About this document
This is a fully comprehensive Health and Safety manual for any type and size of organisation. Health, safety and welfare at work are the subject of strict and all pervading legislation. Compliance is essential.
This is a comprehensive health and safety manual for any size and any type of business. It deals with almost all conceivable general policies, standards and matters. We would love to include industry specific detail for every industry, but special processes entail specific risks. The more specialised and dangerous your operations, the more you must liaise with your H&S inspectorate and take detailed advice on aspects of your H&S policy which will require additions to your manual. What we have provided in this version is comprehensive and detailed provisions generally. As you will deduce from the size of these documents, they are very thorough.
