Health & Safety Management Systems
Legislation in the UK requires that employers have appropriate arrangements in place for the management and control of health and safety at work. In order to achieve these requirements employers need to have an effective health and safety management system that is clearly defined and well documented. In order to assist employers in meeting their legal obligations under the Health & Safety at Work etc Act 1974, and the numerous Regulations made under the Act, we have developed the Safe, Legal & Compliant © Health and Safety Management System. This system is based on the principles of British Standard BS OHSAS 18001:2007 and the guidance contained in the Health & Safety Executive document HS(G)65 “Successful Health & Safety Management”.
Our Safe, Legal & Compliant © system is completely bespoke to client requirements and is unique to the individual company for whom it is prepared. Our expert consultants write the document in conjunction and close consultation with the client. We do not prepare complex and heavy manuals that are difficult to read and use. This way they can be understood by all employees and easily put into practice. By working with Orion, customers can feel assured that legal non-compliances can be avoided and that necessary due diligence has been given which will result in a healthier and safer working environment and less risk of enforcement action.
