Every business has health and safety obligations. For construction, care, education, and food service, the requirements are substantial.
What Needs Tracking
- Risk assessments: Living documents that need regular review.
- Equipment inspections: Fire extinguishers, PAT testing, gas safety, electrical checks.
- Staff training: First aid, fire marshal, manual handling, COSHH — with expiry dates.
- Incident records: RIDDOR-reportable incidents, near misses, and accident book entries.
The Dashboard Approach
A single dashboard showing all H&S compliance areas with RAG status. Red items need immediate action. Amber items need attention soon. Green items are compliant.
The Health and Safety Executive expects businesses to demonstrate adequate systems. A digital compliance system with automatic alerts and exportable reports provides exactly the evidence they look for.
