Vita Safety launches handbook to help businesses master workplace health and safety

Stockport health and safety consultancy, Vita Safety, has launched a short handbook to support businesses to master how to keep their workplace and colleagues safe.

This handbook contains bitesized teachings about relevant topics within health and safety today, such as: 

• Fire Safety and appointing a Responsible Person(s) to ensure people’s safety and compliance with the law 
• ISO 45001 and avoiding the profound impact of occupational injuries and diseases. Ensuring businesses worldwide speak the same language in health and safety 
• Stress and mental wellbeing management to decrease the hazards of the moderate to high-stress levels of 76% of UK professionals 

The toolkit allows readers to feel confident in their health and safety practices and ensures operations align with industry standards and best practices. The handbook features actionable advice on workplace health and safety, including employee wellbeing, and how meeting recognised safety standards can make your business more attractive to potential clients, partners and employees.

Other benefits of implementing information and processes from this guide include: 

• Attract and retain top talent 
• Align your business practices with you and your employee’s values 
• Enhance business reputation 
• Ensure happy, healthy and satisfied employees 
• Minimising potential financial losses and fines 
• Promote long-term success and sustainability of your business

Vita Safety created the guide to empower businesses and safety experts with the essential knowledge to meaningfully enhance workplace safety and health management systems. This includes a comprehensive grasp of the duties and responsibilities for health and safety in the workplace.

Well-informed organisations are in a better position to foster positive working environments. This not only benefits employees but also contributes positively to the wider community. A win-win!
