Policies
Complying with health and safety legislation can be a complicated business, especially in the construction industry, but research has proven that professional management of health and safety at work saves money.
By law all organisations with five or more employees are required by law to have:

• A documented health and safety policy
• Documented risk assessments for all significant hazards
• Access to competent health and safety advice

OJ Safety can take away the worry and the ‘what ifs’ from health and safety and allow you to get on with the day to day running of your business.

How do we do this?
We spend time with you, the client, listening to how your business is run, we would then conduct a full audit of your premises and your current ‘best practice and procedures’. Upon completion we will give you honest view of what needs to be carried out to get your business in line with the current legislation, but also, more importantly get your business, your employees and you in safe hands.

A construction industry wide consultation was carried out in 2002, which led to the Health and Safety Commission deciding to replace the CDM 1994. The new CDM 2007 regulations have simplified construction legislation by bringing together the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 1994 and Construction (Health Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1996 (CHSW 1996)  into one single regulation.
