Getting Started on Health and Safety

Controlling danger at work is no different from any other task – you need to recognise problems, know enough about them, decide what to do and act on the solutions.

 

Go to our Getting Started page to find 10 key things you must do to manage health and safety. Some basic thinking and acting beforehand can usually prevent accidents and ill health. Find out how to deal with particular hazards or problems in your workplace from Safety Topics.
