Health and Safety

Even where it is not a core discipline, health and safety is still really nothing more than a series of managed tasks for most workplaces, with some specialities thrown in. The basis of success is knowing the boundaries of your company’s activities and blending external specialist skills with your own in-house skills, as needed.

Compliance covers a wide topic area with legislation governing everything from driving to young people. Dependant on the nature of your business, the list of activities and their direct impact will vary. Some tasks will be inherent, i.e. a fundamental part of what you do, others will be incidental, i.e. not a core activity, but still a possible risk.

Breaking down these activities is key to understanding how they support the business. Relating them back to the building, the people or an asset, helps identify relevence and relative risk and where value is added. For example, if publicised checks on the quality of air in the office reduces staff absenteeism by one day per employee per year, how much additonal time and possibly profit does this translate into?
