Overview of the 'Health & Safety' section of
MHAssist®
The lack of health & safety procedures is named as a primary
cause in the majority of workplace accidents resulting in
serious injury or worse.
|
Everything revolves around
the 'Policy'
An
effective Health & Safety Policy is at the heart of your
health & safety procedures
Once your powerful Policy is implemented everything else,
such as risk assessments (including assessments for fire,
COSHH and first aid), slips into place to ensure that your
employees work in a safer environment. |

The benefits
of having a good Health & Safety Policy
The spin offs from using
your MHAssist on-line employment and health and safety
software system can be numerous. For example, should you
face a prosecution as a result of a serious accident your
Policy and risk assessments will act as your first line of
defence.
You can also use MHAssist to
support your tender applications for public sector
contracts and OJEU notices and sub contractor operations.
Plus you can use MHAssist to help you to reduce your
Employers and Public Liability insurance premiums.
The
clauses in your Policy cover all the most common health
& safety provisions to support all your other procedures
such as risk assessments. The Policy's innovative approach
allows you to customise and/or add your own health & safety
provisions to suit your business and MHAssist will help you.
Different Health & Safety Policies for different premises
and operations
You can produce health &
safety policies for all your different sites or specific
operations and renew them as often as you wish. Once they
are produced they are saved on-line and ready for instant
implementation.
How
does MHAssist manage a particular Health & Safety issue?
Example: A building
contractor situated in Stockport has a team working on a
site in the London area 200 miles away. One day a
substantial amount of scaffolding collapses on the site
that constitutes a 'Dangerous Occurrence' under health &
safety regulations.
The site manager can
immediately file a report (just by answering the questions
asked by MHAssist) on his laptop about the 'Dangerous
Occurrence' and send it to the head office in Stockport.
The head office can then decide how to manage the
situation with the authorities. Subsequently, the site
manager can arrange for new scaffolding to be erected -
compile a risk assessment on the new scaffolding, using
MHAssist on his laptop, and get the project back on track
without delay.
MHAssist is

managers or health & safety professionals with everything
they need to manage health & safety procedures. In

assessments, MHAssist also contains many ancillary forms.
