The Health & Safety Guide is now fully updated for 2008.
ALL companies, regardless of size, must comply with health and safety law; let the FPB guide you through the hazards of compliance.
"An excellent guide to health and safety issues which are very important to any business in this modern climate. Easy to use and understand, with updates and changes as and when necessary. An essential document to have at your side."
Mairwyn Edwards, Islwyn Indoor Bowls Association
"I have had one or two health and safety issues that I have had help with. We needed more flexibility within our working procedures and we got advice and have now changed our contracts and practices accordingly. If we were using external consultants the cost would be considerably in excess of what we pay for our annual subscription."
Graham Davis, Stoneywood Motors
A successful business is dependent on the health and welfare of its employees and customers. The business owner is responsible for ensuring a safe working environment and minimising risk created by the operation of the business. The FPB's Health & Safety Guide is designed to help you do this with the minimum of fuss.
Easy-to-follow sections cover general and sector-specific guidance on complying with health and safety regulations and the ‘comply-as-you-complete' format ensures the business owner can stay fully up to date with the law simply and easily.
Risk assessment forms covering general, fire and asbestos issues are available in both hard copy and electronic format, to help the business owner evaluate current risks, and essential contact details for a variety of useful third parties will ensure that all the information you need is always to hand.
