Managing Health and Safety

Managing Health and Safety

HSE guidance

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) has guidance on managing health and safety and controlling risks for businesses.

The webpages will help businesses find the right level of guidance for their business.

HSE also has a guide providing an introduction to managing health and safety. This will help businesses:

·       understand what managing health and safety means

·       find the right guidance for your workplace

·       use the Plan, Do, Check, Act approach to manage health and safety in a way that is simple and proportionate to your risks, while still complying with the law

The webpages also contain links to useful resources on the site, including HSE’s publication: Managing for health and safety (HSG65). The guide is mainly for leaders, owners and line managers. It will particularly help those who need to put in place or oversee their organisation’s health and safety arrangements.
