A health and safety policy sets out your general approach and objectives (your vision) and the arrangements you have put in place for managing health and safety in your business. It is a unique document that says who does what, when and how.

If you have five or more employees, you must write your policy down.

A written policy statement shows your staff, and anyone else, your commitment to health and safety. It should describe how you will implement and monitor your health and safety controls. It should be reviewed regularly.

Site specific method statements can also be provided before work starts on site. Addendums to method statements when required can be provided during periodical site inspections.

The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 states that every employer shall appoint one or more competent persons to assist him in undertaking the measures needed to comply with the regulations. Draycott Safety Services Ltd can undertake this role and will help in fulfilling your obligations and show main contractors your commitment to health and safety which will help winning further business.

The Contractors Health and Safety Scheme is a pre-approval scheme that shows potential clients or main contractors that a company meets required safety standards.

The Provision and Use of Work Equipment Regulations 1998 states:

"Every employer shall ensure that work equipment is maintained in an efficient state, in efficient working order and in good repair."

The Electricity at Work Regulations 1989 states:

"As may be necessary to prevent danger, all systems shall be maintained so as to prevent, so far as reasonably practicable, such danger."

Draycott Safety Services can carry out Portable Appliance Testing and put in place regimes to ensure all electrical equipment is safe and fit for purpose.

The Management of Health & Safety at Work Regulations, 1999, places a duty on all employers to carry out Risk Assessments for all processes.

Draycott Safety Services Ltd can provide a bespoke training programme where management and site operatives can receive interactive training on DSS Ltd portable laptops at individual sites, offices or online.

Periodical site inspections can be carried out on offices and construction sites on an annual, monthly, weekly or ad hoc basis which can be anything from an hour long inspection to a full 1-2 day audit.

During 2006 the Government introduced the new Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 which now makes companies responsible for their own Fire Risk Assessments. Draycott Safety Services can carry out these assessments and any training that may be required such as Fire Marshall Training.

A bespoke service with individual requirements can be provided to companies; from a one off visit to permanent retained services whose rate can be discussed at initial visit.
