No matter what kind of industry you work in, every business needs a detailed health and safety policy. Effective safety procedures will raise awareness of workplace hazards and reduce the risk of accident or illness; ultimately reducing absence rates, improving productivity and saving substantial amounts of money.
An HSE prohibition notice is issued to an employer if they haven’t enforced safe working practises, and these unsafe practises are believed to pose a serious risk of injury or death. When you’re served the notice, you’re legally obliged to immediately cease the dangerous activity until safer procedures have been put in place. A failure to comply with a prohibition notice will result in prosecution.
Praxis42 says that its health and safety online courses ensure all employees and managers can effectively identify common workplace hazards.
The company added: "Teaching staff the importance of risk assessments and creating a safer working environment, these courses will help you stay in line with legislation and avoid any HSE penalties."
