Safety Statements
Based on the principle that the majority of accidents are foreseeable, safety can be managed and ill-health prevented. Managing health and safety in the workplace means being able to identify hazards, assess the risk, and put in place appropriate safety measures. The Safety Statement is an action programme setting out how health and safety is to be managed and must be prepared in consultation with workers. There are seven basic steps to be followed to ensure effective management.
The steps are:
- Set out the health and safety policy
- Identify hazards
- Risk assessment
- Identify precautions
- Record the findings
- Review and update
- Communicate the contents of Safety Statement
