Why have HSE manuals and policies?
There are strict laws on health, safety and welfare at work. Compliance is critical. It is too late when an accident has occurred. Your team must know how best to prevent the accident.
Who will use this manual?
This is an ‘all round’ manual for use in the textile industry. Whether you are in the business of dying, cutting, manufacturing, supplying or anything else, this manual deals with the most important health and safety issues.
Processes specific to your business entail specific risks. The more specialised and dangerous your operations, the more you must liaise with your H&S inspector and take detailed advice on aspects of your H&S policy which will require additions to your manual.
