Improving the health and safety culture within your workplace
can help save your organisation time, money and suffering.
Health and Safety management also has legal implications as
stated in the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations
1999, that set out a requirement for every employer to:
"appoint one or more competent persons to assist him
in undertaking the measures he needs to take to comply with … the
relevant statutory provisions."
However for smaller organisations this may not be a viable
option and the law has provided for this by stating:
"if there is no relevant competent worker in the organisation
or the level of competence is insufficient to assist the employer
in complying with health and safety law, the employer should
enlist an external service or person. In some circumstances
a combination of internal and external competence might be
appropriate, recognising the limitations of the internal competence."
This is where Ouch comes in. We can provide the cost effective
solution to this legal requirement by offering specific Health
and Safety advice for your organisation. We will listen to
your needs and study your current health and safety culture
