As long as I have the Health and Safety documents on site for staff to refer to and have undertaken risk assessments is this sufficient under the legislation?
No – consulting employees on health and safety matters is a legal requirement and is very important in creating and maintaining a safe and healthy working environment. By doing so, an employer should motivate staff and make them aware of health and safety issues. This helps to improve efficiency and reduce the number of accidents and work-related illnesses.
