Welcome to the area dedicated to all those who have property or premises health and safety issues.
 
We have tried to represent issues, regulation and good practice in a way, which will be clear and easy to follow. We have also identified areas of general health and safety, which may be particularly relevant to premises management.
 
To help save you time reading all advice guidance and regulations put out by Government Bodies, and allow you to operate safely, the following pages aim to set out what you have to do in order to manage health and safety.

There is a balance to be struck between the risks involved and the cost of prevention.

Where the risks are low, it shouldn't cost much to make sure that you keep within the law.

Health and safety measures need to be matched to the level of risk.
Whatever the type business you have legal duties to:

• Your employees (including trainees), wherever they are working;
• Visitors to your premises;
• Those affected by your work (neighbours or the public);
• Tennants/Owners
• Those who use your equipment at work or at a workplace you provide (for example contractors or agency staff).

Put simply, you have to take care of the people who may be affected by what you do!
