Health & Safety at Work

Written By Pam Rawlings

H&S or moral duty?

Keeping your people safe at work is a legal obligation (we all know that, right?) but it should also speak to you morally – we have a duty to create, promote and maintain a safe and healthy work environment for all employees. At P2HR, we’ve worked with many clients in various ways to create that safe and healthy work environment.  Here’s how we do it!

We encourage our clients to implement these steps:

1. Policy development

By developing and implementing health and safety policies that comply with legal regulations, covering areas such as:

  • Workplace safety protocols

  • Emergency procedures

  • Risk assessments

2. Incident management

By ensuring incidents are managed and documented:

  • Workplace accidents or injuries

  • Near-misses and safety breaches

  • Return-to-work procedures for injured employees

3. Wellbeing initiatives

By emphasizing employee wellbeing, which includes:

  • Mental health support

  • Work-life balance policies

  • Flexible working conditions

🧠 Why It matters:

  • Protects employees from harm or illness

  • Reduces legal risk for the company

  • Improves morale and retention happy employees makes for a happier business

  • Boosts productivity through fewer absences and injuries

So let’s not think of it as our legal obligation but more that it’s absolutely the right thing to do! Looking after your people is key to your business thriving.
