An introduction to managing for health and safety This chapter is for those who need to put in place or oversee their organization’s health and safety arrangements. The advice may also help workers and their representatives, as well as health and safety practitioners and training providers. To help you comply with the law, HSE encourages a common-sense and practical approach to managing health and safety. It should be part of the everyday process of running an organization and an integral part of workplace behaviors and attitudes. Whatever your industry, or the size or nature of your organization, the core elements to effectively managing for health and safety are: ■ Leadership and management; ■ A trained/skilled workforce; ■ An environment where people are trusted and involved. Plan, Do, Check & Act
You have a legal duty to put in place suitable arrangements to manage for health and safety. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to put in place arrangements to control health and safety risks. As a minimum, you should have the processes and procedures required to meet the legal requirements, including: ■ A written health and safety policy (if you employ five or more people); ■ Assessments of the risks to employees, contractors, customers, partners, and any other people who could be affected by your activities – and record the significant findings in writing (if you employ five or more people). Any risk assessment must be ‘suitable and sufficient’; ■ Arrangements for the effective planning, organization, control, monitoring and review of the preventive and protective measures that come from risk assessment; ■ providing employees with information about the risks in your workplace and how they are protected; ■ Instruction and training for employees in how to deal with the risks; ■ ensuring there is adequate and appropriate supervision in place; ■ Consulting with employees about their risks at work and current preventive and protective measures. Leaders, owners, trustees and line managers need to consider if they are doing enough to manage for health and safety effectively. You need to answer fundamental questions such as: ■ What are the strengths and weaknesses of your organization’s health and safety performance, and are there any barriers to change?
■ How reliable and sustainable for the future are the measures currently in place? ■ If your organization is getting risk control right, why is that? For example, does performance depend on one person’s dedication and enthusiasm or is it a key value across the organization? ■ If there are problems, what are the underlying reasons, eg. competence, resources, accountability, or lack of engagement with the workforce? ■ Have you learned from situations where things have gone wrong? Effective leaders and line managers know the risks their organizations face rank them in order of importance and take action to control them. The range of risks goes beyond health and safety risks to include quality, environmental and asset damage, but issues in one area could impact in another. Leading and managing for health and safety Leaders, at all levels, need to understand the range of health and safety risks in their part of the organization and to give proportionate attention to each of them. This applies to the level of detail and effort put into assessing the risks, implementing controls, supervising and monitoring. Competence is the ability to undertake responsibilities and perform activities to a recognized standard on a regular basis. It combines practical and thinking skills, knowledge and experience. Plan, Do, Check & Act
At its most effective, full involvement of your workforce creates a culture where relationships between employers and employees are based on collaboration, trust and joint problem solving. Employees are involved in assessing workplace risks and the development and review of workplace health and safety policies in partnership with the employer. Managing health and safety can rarely be achieved by one-off interventions. A sustained and systematic approach is necessary. While this may not always require a formal health and safety management system, whatever approach is used it probably contains the steps Plan, Do, Check, Act. Plan, Do, Check, Act helps you achieve a balance between the systems and behavioral aspects of management. It also treats health and safety management as an integral part of good management generally, rather than as a stand-alone system. The high-level descriptions may vary, depending on the industry or sector you are working in, but this leaflet provides a summary of the actions involved in delivering effective arrangements.
Plan, Do, Check & Act
Plan- (Think about where you are now and where you need to be) ■ Say what you want to achieve, who will be responsible for what, how you will achieve your aims, and how you will measure your success. You may need to write down this policy and your plan to deliver it. ■ Decide how you will measure performance. Think about ways to do this that go beyond looking at accident figures; look for active indicators as well as reactive indicators. ■ Consider fire and other emergencies. Co-operate with anyone who shares your workplace and co- ordinate plans with them. ■ Remember to plan for changes and identify any specific legal requirements that apply to you. Do- (Identify your risk profile) ■ Assess the risks, identify what could cause harm in the workplace, who it could harm and how, and what you will do to manage the risk. ■ Decide what the priorities are and identify the biggest risks. ■ Organize your activities to deliver your plan In particular, aim to: ■ Involve workers and communicate, so that everyone is clear on what is needed and can discuss issues – develop positive attitudes and behaviors. ■ Provide adequate resources, including competent advice where needed. ■ Implement your plan ■ Decide on the preventive and protective measures needed and put them in place. ■ Provide the right tools and equipment to do the job and keep them maintained. ■ Train and instruct, to ensure everyone is competent to carry out their work.
Check (Measure your performance) ■ Make sure that your plan has been implemented – ‘paperwork’ on its own is not a good performance measure. ■ Assess how well the risks are being controlled and if you are achieving your aims. In some circumstances formal audits may be useful. ■ Investigate the causes of accidents, incidents or near misses Act (Review your performance) ■ Learn from accidents and incidents, ill-health data, errors and relevant experience, including from other organizations. ■ Revisit plans, policy documents and risk assessments to see if they need updating. ■ Take action on lessons learned, including from audit and inspection reports You may need to go round the cycle more than once, particularly when: Starting out; Developing a new process, product or service; or Implementing any change.
A formal management system or framework can help you manage health and safety; it’s your decision whether to use one or not. Examples include: ■ National and international standards such as: ■ BS OHSAS 18001 Occupational health and safety management systems; ■ BS EN ISO 9001 Quality management system; ■ In-house standards, procedures or codes; Although the language and methodology vary, the key actions can usually be traced back to Plan, Do, Check, Act.

To ensure a safe work environment, you need to understand the definition of risk. To define risk, we first need to take a look at a few basic terms… Assessing the risk
A hazard is anything that has the potential to cause harm Assessing the risk
For a hazard to cause harm, a hazardous event must happen Assessing the risk
For a hazard to cause harm, a hazardous event must happen Assessing the risk
The likelihood is the chance that the hazardous event will occur
Consequence is the outcome of the hazardous event
Risk is the combination of the likelihood of a hazardous event occurring, and the consequence of the event Risk = Likelihood x Consequence

4. Evaluate the risk
5. Record your findings • the location, activity and equipment being assessed • hazards and risk levels • risk controls • assessor’s details • date and time • review date Steps of Risk Assessment
6. Review your findings When changes occur (personnel, equipment or activities), you should review your risk assessments. It’s a legal requirement to review assessments regularly Steps of Risk Assessment
Tips to improve your risk assessment:  Make sure it’s suitable and sufficient  Better data helps make better judgements  Involve the people it’s likely to affect  Conditions may vary from site to site  Consider “on the spot” assessments Steps of Risk Assessment

Steps of Risk Assessment
The hierarchy of risk control is a system of control measures used to eliminate or reduce exposure to hazards, which has five levels of control measures. It is used when undertaking a risk assessment, to decide on which precautions are needed to control the risks posed by the hazards. The most effective measure is at the top of the hierarchy and the least effective is at the bottom. So the idea is that you start from the top of the hierarchy in choosing your control measures, and work your way down. In most cases a combination of control measures from the hierarchy are chosen to effectively reduce the risk posed by a hazard. The hierarchy of risk control is useful in determining which control measures are appropriate. The most effective control to deal with a hazard is to eliminate it, but that is not always possible. Some hazards cannot be eliminated. So, the aim of implementing the hierarchy of risk control is to get as many control measures in place so that the risk from a hazard is reduced "as low as reasonably practicable". Hierarchy of Risk Control
Here's an example for a large pothole in the path: 1. Elimination (completely remove the hazard at source) – there is a large pothole in the path causing a hazard to users, repair the pothole, completely removing the hazard. 2. Substitution (substitute the hazardous activity, process or substance with a less hazardous one) – ask users to use an alternative path, until the pothole has been repaired. 3. Engineering controls (isolate the hazard from people who could be harmed) – install a suitable barrier around the pothole, to protect path users, until the pothole has been repaired. 4. Administrative controls (change the way people work or prevent people's exposure to hazards) – ensure all path users are aware of the large pothole by installing a warning sign, and clearly marking around the pothole with yellow spray paint. Have a maintenance schedule and inspection system in place to inspect paths regularly so that problems like potholes are noticed and repaired before injuries from trips and falls occur. Do training in path inspection so you know what to look for. 5. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (provide PPE to cover and protect an individual person from hazards) – ask the path users to wear a hard hat, knee and elbow pads (unrealistic!!). Note – PPE can be used as a temporary control measure until other more effective control measures are provided. In most cases a combination of other control measures and PPE can effectively control the risks from hazards and protect those exposed Hierarchy of Risk Control

    An introduction tomanaging for health and safety This chapter is for those who need to put in place or oversee their organization’s health and safety arrangements. The advice may also help workers and their representatives, as well as health and safety practitioners and training providers. To help you comply with the law, HSE encourages a common-sense and practical approach to managing health and safety. It should be part of the everyday process of running an organization and an integral part of workplace behaviors and attitudes. Whatever your industry, or the size or nature of your organization, the core elements to effectively managing for health and safety are: ■ Leadership and management; ■ A trained/skilled workforce; ■ An environment where people are trusted and involved. Plan, Do, Check & Act
  • 36.
    You have alegal duty to put in place suitable arrangements to manage for health and safety. The Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 require employers to put in place arrangements to control health and safety risks. As a minimum, you should have the processes and procedures required to meet the legal requirements, including: ■ A written health and safety policy (if you employ five or more people); ■ Assessments of the risks to employees, contractors, customers, partners, and any other people who could be affected by your activities – and record the significant findings in writing (if you employ five or more people). Any risk assessment must be ‘suitable and sufficient’; ■ Arrangements for the effective planning, organization, control, monitoring and review of the preventive and protective measures that come from risk assessment; ■ providing employees with information about the risks in your workplace and how they are protected; ■ Instruction and training for employees in how to deal with the risks; ■ ensuring there is adequate and appropriate supervision in place; ■ Consulting with employees about their risks at work and current preventive and protective measures. Leaders, owners, trustees and line managers need to consider if they are doing enough to manage for health and safety effectively. You need to answer fundamental questions such as: ■ What are the strengths and weaknesses of your organization’s health and safety performance, and are there any barriers to change?
  • 37.
    ■ How reliableand sustainable for the future are the measures currently in place? ■ If your organization is getting risk control right, why is that? For example, does performance depend on one person’s dedication and enthusiasm or is it a key value across the organization? ■ If there are problems, what are the underlying reasons, eg. competence, resources, accountability, or lack of engagement with the workforce? ■ Have you learned from situations where things have gone wrong? Effective leaders and line managers know the risks their organizations face rank them in order of importance and take action to control them. The range of risks goes beyond health and safety risks to include quality, environmental and asset damage, but issues in one area could impact in another. Leading and managing for health and safety Leaders, at all levels, need to understand the range of health and safety risks in their part of the organization and to give proportionate attention to each of them. This applies to the level of detail and effort put into assessing the risks, implementing controls, supervising and monitoring. Competence is the ability to undertake responsibilities and perform activities to a recognized standard on a regular basis. It combines practical and thinking skills, knowledge and experience. Plan, Do, Check & Act
  • 38.
    At its mosteffective, full involvement of your workforce creates a culture where relationships between employers and employees are based on collaboration, trust and joint problem solving. Employees are involved in assessing workplace risks and the development and review of workplace health and safety policies in partnership with the employer. Managing health and safety can rarely be achieved by one-off interventions. A sustained and systematic approach is necessary. While this may not always require a formal health and safety management system, whatever approach is used it probably contains the steps Plan, Do, Check, Act. Plan, Do, Check, Act helps you achieve a balance between the systems and behavioral aspects of management. It also treats health and safety management as an integral part of good management generally, rather than as a stand-alone system. The high-level descriptions may vary, depending on the industry or sector you are working in, but this leaflet provides a summary of the actions involved in delivering effective arrangements.

    Plan- (Think aboutwhere you are now and where you need to be) ■ Say what you want to achieve, who will be responsible for what, how you will achieve your aims, and how you will measure your success. You may need to write down this policy and your plan to deliver it. ■ Decide how you will measure performance. Think about ways to do this that go beyond looking at accident figures; look for active indicators as well as reactive indicators. ■ Consider fire and other emergencies. Co-operate with anyone who shares your workplace and co- ordinate plans with them. ■ Remember to plan for changes and identify any specific legal requirements that apply to you. Do- (Identify your risk profile) ■ Assess the risks, identify what could cause harm in the workplace, who it could harm and how, and what you will do to manage the risk. ■ Decide what the priorities are and identify the biggest risks. ■ Organize your activities to deliver your plan In particular, aim to: ■ Involve workers and communicate, so that everyone is clear on what is needed and can discuss issues – develop positive attitudes and behaviors. ■ Provide adequate resources, including competent advice where needed. ■ Implement your plan ■ Decide on the preventive and protective measures needed and put them in place. ■ Provide the right tools and equipment to do the job and keep them maintained. ■ Train and instruct, to ensure everyone is competent to carry out their work.
  • 41.
    Check (Measure yourperformance) ■ Make sure that your plan has been implemented – ‘paperwork’ on its own is not a good performance measure. ■ Assess how well the risks are being controlled and if you are achieving your aims. In some circumstances formal audits may be useful. ■ Investigate the causes of accidents, incidents or near misses Act (Review your performance) ■ Learn from accidents and incidents, ill-health data, errors and relevant experience, including from other organizations. ■ Revisit plans, policy documents and risk assessments to see if they need updating. ■ Take action on lessons learned, including from audit and inspection reports You may need to go round the cycle more than once, particularly when: Starting out; Developing a new process, product or service; or Implementing any change.
  • 42.
    A formal managementsystem or framework can help you manage health and safety; it’s your decision whether to use one or not. Examples include: ■ National and international standards such as: ■ BS OHSAS 18001 Occupational health and safety management systems; ■ BS EN ISO 9001 Quality management system; ■ In-house standards, procedures or codes; Although the language and methodology vary, the key actions can usually be traced back to Plan, Do, Check, Act.

    The hierarchy ofrisk control is a system of control measures used to eliminate or reduce exposure to hazards, which has five levels of control measures. It is used when undertaking a risk assessment, to decide on which precautions are needed to control the risks posed by the hazards. The most effective measure is at the top of the hierarchy and the least effective is at the bottom. So the idea is that you start from the top of the hierarchy in choosing your control measures, and work your way down. In most cases a combination of control measures from the hierarchy are chosen to effectively reduce the risk posed by a hazard. The hierarchy of risk control is useful in determining which control measures are appropriate. The most effective control to deal with a hazard is to eliminate it, but that is not always possible. Some hazards cannot be eliminated. So, the aim of implementing the hierarchy of risk control is to get as many control measures in place so that the risk from a hazard is reduced "as low as reasonably practicable". Hierarchy of Risk Control

    Here's an examplefor a large pothole in the path: 1. Elimination (completely remove the hazard at source) – there is a large pothole in the path causing a hazard to users, repair the pothole, completely removing the hazard. 2. Substitution (substitute the hazardous activity, process or substance with a less hazardous one) – ask users to use an alternative path, until the pothole has been repaired. 3. Engineering controls (isolate the hazard from people who could be harmed) – install a suitable barrier around the pothole, to protect path users, until the pothole has been repaired. 4. Administrative controls (change the way people work or prevent people's exposure to hazards) – ensure all path users are aware of the large pothole by installing a warning sign, and clearly marking around the pothole with yellow spray paint. Have a maintenance schedule and inspection system in place to inspect paths regularly so that problems like potholes are noticed and repaired before injuries from trips and falls occur. Do training in path inspection so you know what to look for. 5. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (provide PPE to cover and protect an individual person from hazards) – ask the path users to wear a hard hat, knee and elbow pads (unrealistic!!). Note – PPE can be used as a temporary control measure until other more effective control measures are provided. In most cases a combination of other control measures and PPE can effectively control the risks from hazards and protect those exposed Hierarchy of Risk Control
