Health & Safety Risk Management System

S29 - Workplace Health & Safety Welfare

The welfare facility is often an area that is overlooked when inspecting and maintaining plant and equipment. It is also an area that is often used by people not based on a particular site. As such it can very quickly become untidy, unsafe and unhealthy.

The Welfare Procedure provides clear guidance on both the office and canteen arrangements. The topics covered include:

• Ventilation
• Space
• Temperature
• Lighting
• Waste control
• Drinking water, and
• Contractors.

A template for an office inspection checklist has been included and it can be amended for your particular needs.
