Making your Office a Safe Place to Be

Offices and workplaces need to meet with certain regulations in order to pass health and safety tests. It’s absolutely essential that all workplaces in the UK look after their staff – these regulations are there for a reason. Here are some tips to help you ensure the health and safety of your staff at all times:

  • Provide proper training. This is especially important if your workers are going to be operating machine or heavy lifting equipment. Make sure their training is kept up to date.
  • Keep the office safe. Make sure there are no trip hazards and that people can access everything they need to easily.
  • Give workers the correct equipment. If they could be using something like lifting skates or furniture movers to make their jobs easier and safer, make sure they have access to everything they need.
  • Get regular professional reviews and inspections. Make sure all machinery has been inspected and an independent health and safety professional has checked everything over.
