| Abstract |
As an employer you have a lot to deal with to keep in business and there will be times when you have to look outside your firm for advice. This leaflet guides you through thinking about the help you might need, specifically on health and safety. Employers often hesitate to get help as they may be uncertain about where to go and what to ask for and may doubt whether they will get value for money. But getting the right help at the right time is good business sense and will play a part in ensuring that you meet legal duties to protect your employees' health and safety. It can be money well spent both in the short term and to avoid more costly action later. Although most firms rarely experience serious incidents, an employee's bad accident or chronic ill health can have a significant impact on the smooth running of a business. Contents: Why you need to seek assistance; Involving employees and their representatives; How to know whether you need to do something; What next; When to look for outside help; What to look for and where to go; Other sources of advice; Further reading |
