Business Practice Assessment

The Management of Health and Safety Regulations 1992 and the Health and Safety at Work Act 1974 state: 'All employers are required to have a health and safety policy, carry out risk assessments, and provide health and safety training for their employees. Where employers have five or more employees they must record the significant findings of their risk assessment'.


All work situations expose individuals to electrical, toxic and mechanical hazards which are present in business premises. It is important therefore that the business has a full understanding of health & safety issues and complies with its legal obligations.


HOW CAN WE HELP
Ferguson Oliver through our network partner, Broker Network, has designed a simple in-house questionnaire to help you assess your attitude towards health & safety and employment law.


HOW BUSINESS PRACTICE ASSESSMENT WORKS
This questionnaire allows you to quickly assess your awareness of, and complance with, health & safety and employment law. It is particularly useful for small businesses, where there is no site visit and is especially beneficial at quotation stage. These can result in more competitive terms for your insurances.
