Posted By Sean Fraser Deborah, Just so happens someone asked a similar question very recently - the responses there might help, especially the Fife Chamber of Safety link - see message: http://www.iosh.co.uk/in...rum=1&thread=8475&page=1 Just copy past in your browser although it is still in page 1 as "Safety Management System" posted by David Cairns

Posted By Deborah Burkmar Sean, What I would find really helpful is to see how other businesses handle all the documentation for their health and safety management system - real companies who have to deal with the day to day practicalities of business - rather than the general and idealised information you find on websites. The Policy Statement is already drawn up with statement of commitment, responsibilities, organisation and arrangements and this is readily available to all staff at induction and thereafter. The challenge is to how to produce and layout the "second tier" manual which would include specific policies, procedures, standard forms. I need to produce a system that is easily referenced and user friendly to encourage all levels of staff to refer to it. Any assistance would be gratefully received. Deborah
