Safety Policies:

Why do I need a Health & Safety Policy?

The Health & Safety at Work etc Act 1974, the Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations 1999 and the Environmental Protection Act 1990 place a duty on employers to:

• Prepare a written Health & Safety Policy Statement (when employing five or more persons)
• Set out the Organisation and Arrangements for implementing the Health & Safety policy
• Revise and update their Health & Safety policy on a regular basis
• Bring the Health & Safety policy and arrangements to the notice of all employees

Carmarthen EHS can assist you in developing a suitable Health & Safety policy that is both relevant and specific to your organisation.

Permit-to-Work:

A Permit-to-Work is a safety management document used to control high risk activities.

• It is a documented procedure that authorises certain people to carry out a specific task within a specific time frame and/or location.
• It enables an assessment of risks to be carried out, which allows the relevant control measures required to be put in place to minimise any risk(s) highlighted during the assessment.
• It sets out the precautions required to complete the work safely, based on a risk assessment.

Carmarthen EHS can assist you in developing a suitable, relevant and specific permit to work system for your organisation.

Safety Management Systems:

A safety management system (SMS) is a comprehensive management system designed to manage safety elements in the workplace. It includes policy, objectives, plans, procedures, organisation, responsibilities and other measures.

Carmarthen EHS can assist you in developing a safety management system that is both relevant and specific to your organisation.

Employee Safety Handbooks:

It is a legal requirement that all employees of a business have access to sufficient health and safety information. Providing an employee health and safety handbook is one of the most effective ways of ensuring that the policies and procedures of your organisation are communicated to your staff.

Carmarthen EHS can develop an employee safety handbook relevant and specific permit to work system for your organisation.
