It is essential that business owners and directors know and understand compliance and what they must do to make - and then keep -  the workplace healthy and safe.

Typical points that might need to be considered are:

• making the workplace safe and eliminate or control risks to health

• ensure plant and machinery are safe and that safe systems of work are set and followed

• ensure articles and substances being moved, stored and used safely

• are there adequate welfare facilities?

• have workers been given workers the information, instruction, training and supervision necessary for their health and safety

• have workers been consulted on health and safety matters.
