HSE: Managing for health and safety (2013)

Summary

This revised edition of one of HSE's most popular guides is mainly for leaders, owners and line managers. It will particularly help those who need to put in place or oversee their organisation's health and safety arrangements.

The advice may also help workers and their representatives, as well as health and safety practitioners and training providers.

Content

The guidance explains the Plan, Do, Check, Act approach and shows how it can help you achieve a balance between the systems and behavioural 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 revised edition has advice on:

• the core elements of managing for health and safety
• deciding if you are doing what you need to do
• delivering effective arrangements
• useful resources.
