The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Institute of Directors (IoD) have issued guidelines http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/indg417.pdf to draw attention of directors and businesses to the importance of good health and safety practices and procedures in the workplace. It is a short guide providing a summary of legal liabilities, a checklist of key questions for leaders, and a list of resources and references for implementing the guidance in practice.
Research conducted by Databuild on behalf of the HSE indicated that only a quarter of business leaders surveyed knew about the guidelines. Hotels and catering organisations were amongst the lowest when it came to awareness of the guidance. So, might it be worth your while taking a few minutes to read it for yourself and be aware of it? Let me know what you think....
