December 14, 2001—A recent issue of Workplacelaw Network reports that the HSE has issued new guidance for managers in the workplace with health and safety obligations. The document is aimed at workplace managers who understand the principles of health and safety management and wish to improve the measurement of health and safety performance in their organization.
The guidance expands on the Measuring performance chapter in HSE’s publication HSG65 Successful health and safety management, which provides guidance on managing health and safety.
Senior managers are advised to ask themselves:
- What information is available to assure me that throughout the organization arrangements to control health and safety risks:
- are in place;
- comply with the law as a minimum; and
- operate effectively?
For more information, contact the Workplacelaw Network.
