A Safer, Healthier Workplace with Safestartup

Safestartup is an online health, safety and environmental tool issued by the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH) in conjunction with the Small Business Service, the Health and Safety Executive and Norwich Union. It has been produced specifically to make it easy for new startups and small businesses to fulfil their health and safety obligations.

Highly visual and interactive, the tool takes you through a series of simple questions to tailor make your health and safety guide, and includes information on hazards and basic control measures for 60 different types of business. The screen-by-screen approach helps you to work through different areas of health and safety at your own pace and in your own time.

In a similar vein, IOSH has also produced a risk management toolkit designed to help small businesses tackle risks in the workplace - a key component of meeting your health and safety obligations.

Finally, an occupational health toolkit helps to identify the longer term, more insidious risks to health associated with different job types, that are not so readily apparent.
