Health and Safety Guides for UK Employers
Health and safety law in the UK is built on a few big ideas: assess the risks, control them sensibly, train your people and keep a record. The detail is where most businesses get stuck. Which accidents do you report under RIDDOR? What goes in a COSHH assessment? What does the law actually say about lifting?
These guides answer those questions in plain English, for the managers, supervisors and business owners who carry the responsibility day to day. Each one links to the primary source, usually the HSE or legislation.gov.uk, so you can check the law for yourself, and the free templates give you a sensible starting point you can adapt to your own workplace.
