Health and safety consultation and communication
As an employer, you may congratulate yourself on your comprehensive approach to health and safety in the workplace. But if your employees don't know what's required of them, there’s little point having the policies in place. Health and safety at work must be clear, properly communicated and supported by relevant training.

Consultation and communication is the logical next step for your health and safety paperwork. Employers are legally required to consult with employees on health and safety matters, whether via a trade union or regular in-house meetings. A set representative must be appointed, or a dedicated employee forum set up where health and safety can be raised, discussed and addressed at the correct level.

Absolute Health and Safety Solutions Ltd can assist you in setting up employee forums and can liaise with your employees, giving them guidance on the frequency, content and conduct of meetings. We can assist with follow-ups and help you to get them set up simply. The employee forums don’t even have to take the form of a dedicated meeting. Health and safety can be adequately addressed as an agenda item on existing regular team meetings.

Provided that health and safety communication and consultation is covered off, and you can demonstrate this, you will be meeting your legal requirements as an employer. Absolute Health and Safety Solutions Ltd can give you professional guidance, helping you ensure that you get it right, call 0845 864 6934 for more information.
