Your employees' safety at work is totally your responsibility
By law, all organisations with five or more employees are required to have a written health and safety policy that must be brought to the attention of their employees.
As an employer you also have a duty to comply with all current health and safety regulations – no matter how complex they may appear – and also to comply with each and every piece of new regulation as it is introduced.
We'll give you all the help and support you need
AXA ICAS Occupational Health Services can apply all the experience and expertise you need to help you manage health and safety positively and effectively.
What Health and Safety Management can do for you
Our Health and Safety Management programme is made up of two key elements: Health and Safety Support and Health Surveillance. This combination enables us to provide your organisation with comprehensive, end-to-end, health and safety support.
And we do more than just relieve you of the pressure of implementing and managing your major health and safety procedures.
We'll provide your organisation with expert, practical advice on ways of avoiding unnecessary cost and interruption to your business. And we'll also demonstrate how you can save money by introducing a variety of health and safety controls.
Health and Safety Support
This includes a full audit of your workplace to identify any health and safety issues and establish potential risk areas that should be addressed.
This not only pinpoints problems with your premises but also provides a full management report that identifies training needs and presents an action plan for improvement.
Advice can also be given on a wide range of related subjects such as occupational hygiene and manual handling techniques. We will help you ensure that your company is able to comply with all current health and safety regulations and any new legislation.
Services that make up our Health and Safety Support include:
- Health and safety base line audit
- Management control
- Accident management
- Specific risk assessment
- Specialist surveys
- Reviewing and monitoring
- Crisis management telephone support
- Training
