5. Check Your Health and Safety Documentation Schedule
Documentation is one of the main ways to show that Health and Safety is active on site. It gives you evidence for incident investigations, HSE inspections and insurance claims, and helps you share lessons learned with your team.
As a trade or subcontractor, aim for these benchmarks:
Risk Assessments: 1 per week minimum (good practice: 1 per day)
Toolbox Talks: 2 per month minimum (good practice: 4 per month)
RAMS: for all high-risk work
Incident Reports: whenever an incident or near miss happens
6. Complete Your Health and Safety Review
Our Health and Safety Checklist is a good place to start. It walks you through the basics and shows you exactly what you need to set up. It's split into 5 simple areas: Work, People, Incidents, Emergency Procedures and Administration.
Open the Health and Safety Review.
Work through each of the 5 areas, focusing on what applies to your business.
Start with the highest-priority items so the most important things are in place quickly.
Please Note: Not everything will apply to every business. Skip anything that isn't relevant to your work.
