If you employ more than five people, by law you must have a health and safety policy statement.  You need to be sure that all of your employees are aware of what your policy statement contains.  You must also undertake regular risk assessments, and record all of your findings. Just in the case the worst should occur, you must also have a dedicated method of reporting accidents and incidents in your workplace that can be referred to at a later date should you need to.

The Health and Safety Executive – The HSE –  is the national independent watchdog for work-related health, safety and illness. It acts in the public interest to reduce work-related death and serious injury across Great Britain’s workplaces and offers the advice and governance that our Health and Safety Consultants in Kent follow.  If you have chemicals on site, as an employer you must ensure the way you store potentially hazardous chemicals and the premises in which you work, are all compliant with the HSE’s advisories and that you meet your legal obligations in respect of the health and safety of anyone who works for you.
