A customer, an insurer or an HSE inspector can ask to see how the work on your site is kept safe. Without a written procedure, a site has little to show that its system of work is safe. PHW writes it, for the site as it actually is.
The documents behind the work on your site. Which ones you need depends on what you run.
These cover vehicles, plant and work activities. A pub, bar or off-licence has its own page: Pubs and licensed premises →
PHW visits your site, sees the work as it is actually done, writes each procedure against that, and goes through the draft with you before it is issued. The training matrix is the live record of who is trained on what, and when it is due. Every procedure is tied back to it, so the people named as authorised or competent in a procedure are the same people the matrix shows as trained and current.
Want to start with the documents and write the rest yourself? The safety packs give you the written system one hazard at a time. This service is for when you want PHW to write it for your site.
Each document above answers to one of these duties.
Section 2(2) requires an employer, so far as is reasonably practicable, to provide and maintain plant and systems of work that are safe and without risks to health, and to provide the information, instruction, training and supervision necessary to ensure the health and safety at work of employees. Section 2(3) requires an employer with five or more employees to prepare a written statement of its health and safety policy, keep it up to date, and bring it to the notice of its employees.
Regulation 3 requires a suitable and sufficient assessment of the risks to employees and to anyone else affected by the work. An employer with five or more employees must record the significant findings. Below five the assessment is still required, and a written one is how you show it was done.
Regulation 9 requires an employer to ensure that anyone using work equipment has received adequate training, including in the methods to be adopted and the risks involved.
Regulation 8 requires an employer to ensure that every lifting operation involving lifting equipment is properly planned by a competent person, appropriately supervised and carried out in a safe manner.
Regulation 17 requires a workplace to be organised so that pedestrians and vehicles can circulate in a safe manner, with traffic routes suitable for the people and vehicles using them.
Regulation 27 requires a construction site to be organised so that, so far as is reasonably practicable, pedestrians and vehicles can move without risks to health or safety, with traffic routes suitable for the people and vehicles using them.
