Health and safety is all about keeping your people safe; and human resources are your people. So the two subjects are inherently connected.
While we don’t write health and safety policies and assessments, we do help employers with compliance around health and safety. It’s part of our work in human resources risk management.
Here are some examples of how HR and health and safety come together:
It’s vital that you have clear policies, and that they’re made available to staff as well as contractors on site. We can help with techniques to effectively communicate your health and safety policies.
The increase of remote working and working from home has changed the health and safety landscape for some businesses. Our experienced team can advise you on health and safety issues and communications needs for your remote teams and workers.
What do you do if you have a near miss – large or small? Our experts can guide you and your team through this to help ensure it doesn’t happen again.
Our HR experts can guide you on what you need to do if employee substance abuse issues impact on your organisation’s health and safety.
This also comes under health and safety. If this is an issue in your workplace, we can work with you to get on top of it so everyone feels safe and happy in their role. Read a case study on how ConsultingHQ helped an employer deal with workplace bullying.
What do you do if employees are in breach of health and safety policies – either occasionally, or regularly? Perhaps they’re not wearing any PPE. Or what they’re wearing is inappropriate for the job. Our team can work with you and your team to set that right.
