As an employer, employee productivity will be at the top of your list and you may be surprised to learn that focusing on the health and safety of staff can help increase it. You have many responsibilities as an employer according to employment law and the area of health and safety is vast.
It is the employer’s role to protect their premises and employees with high stand health and safety solutions. It is also your responsibility to keep informed about the ever changing legislation guidelines and news. This is a massive job and there is a wealth of health and safety products available to employers. This ranges from health and safety training, signs and posters and other products that ensure your business complies with health and safety legislation.
No matter what type of business you run your staff will expect to be safeguarded from injury and health risks. If you fail to protect them you can face legal action and even closure. It makes sense to seek the advice of employment law specialists as poor working conditions can negatively affect productivity besides leaving the business open to tribunals. This can all be avoided by keeping health and safety standards high and posting safety signs around the workplace to remind employees to take caution. From adding entrance mats to the reception area reminding people about slippery floors to adding signage to walls were equipment is being used, you simply cannot remind people enough.
If you have a company that is open to the general public then there are other regulations that must be complied with. The regulations for health and safety can be drilled home to staff using posters in prominent area such as human resources, communal space and break rooms. At Northgate Arinso we can offer expert advice on all aspects of employment law as well as providing tribunal representation.
