Our Perspective
Our wide ranging private and public experience at Effective Health & Safety Management Limited tells us that three key things must be drawn out of the complexities of health and safety:
- The overriding duty on all businesses and organisations is to manage* health and safety.
- Given the importance of this duty, it follows that the approach that is used to manage health and safety must be effective.
- Putting effective health and safety management into practice involves three critical elements. These are:
These three elements apply equally to health and safety, as they do to all other aspects of effective management. Often, however, this is not well understood. When these three elements interact successfully, businesses, organisations and their senior managers benefit from an increased confidence that:
- their approach is sound; and
- their health and safety risks are acceptable risks.
