Every company is legally required to have a ‘Safety Statement’ under the Safety Health and Welfare at work act 2005(section 20). This is a detailed document laying out how the company intends to manage health and safety for their business. FWS can develop and produce a Safety Statement for your company at an economic cost. |

Under common law a safe place of work is a basic requirement before we even look at legislation.
There are some basic areas to keep your business safe :
- Regular Fire Drills
- Ensure statutory safety equipment are serviced to requirements eg. Fire Alarm.
- Regular checking and hazard audit performed
- Regulated services contractor management.
- Ensuring all contractors have appropriate insurance for their work.
- Ensuring appropriate H&S procedures are followed eg. Permit system etc hazardous work.
This is only a small snapshot of some legal requirements, if you have any specific questions please give us a call we are happy to advise.
