Health & Safety
M.K. Occupational Health will work with your in-house team to fill the gaps or can provide a total service
The Health & Safety at Work Act requires a commitment to the health, safety and welfare of all employed people as far as is reasonably practicable.
The EEC requires a fundamental commitment to health and safety at work and management has a statutory duty to provide a healthy and safe work environment.
Workplace legislation - Noise, COSHH, Display Screen Equipment at Work; Manual Handling; Personal Protective Equipment at Work; Workplace Health, Safety & Welfare; Work Equipment; and perhaps the most important and far reaching, Management of Health & Safety at Work, all place on Management a requirement to assess risks in the work environment and take appropriate action to minimise these risks, including appropriate training of staff.
An increasing part of the OH staff role is to provide Health & Safety assessment and advice to companies. MKOH staff are trained to be pro-active in this role and can bring much needed Health & Safety advice to personnel and line management.
