Procedures Manuals

Employers are legally responsible for providing appropriate health and safety information to employees. Staff also need to know what their responsibilities are, it is therefore essential that the information needs to be given in a form that is relevant and easy to absorb.

The drafting and communication of clear and concise procedures is widely accepted as beneficial in:

Uninsured losses amount to £315 per employee acting as a basis for on-going training
