Improved guidance on managing health and safety

The improvements include a new, brief guide providing an introduction to managing health and safety. This will help you:  

• understand what managing health and safety means  
• find the right guidance for your business
• 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  

We have listened to feedback and incorporated a new feature that allow you the option of easily printing off these webpages. 

We now offer easy-to-follow common workplace risks guidance, so you can quickly find specific advice on the risks in your workplace.

A new managing health and safety collection page will help you find the right guidance whether you are a:  

• small or low-risk business 
• leader or manager overseeing your organisation’s arrangements 
• director or board member leading on health and safety  

A new microsite on workplace, health, safety and welfare brings guidance together on legal duties such as ventilation, temperature, safety signs and emergency procedures.
