Business Start Up

If you have recently started your business you can find a lot of useful information on health and safety on the Health and Safety Executives Small Business website This will guide you through the main legal requirements on health and safety that you need to think about.

They have produced a leaflet which guides you through all the aspects of a new business you need to consider; and also provides a template for a health and safety policy, a document you are legally required to have if you employ more than four people.
