Safety advice

This chapter looks at sources of safety advice and information, the transfer of information by way of reports and how information can be stored so that it can be easily retrieved. 

Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999, all employers should have available to them a source of competent health and safety advice. How this is achieved will depend on the size and organization of the particular employment but it can be achieved in a number of ways. 

X- an agreed number of days advice X- advice on demand at an agreed fee. 

The employer must ensure that the person appointed is competent in relation to the advice to be given. 

X- having a university degree in occupational health and safety, or having passed Part II of the NEBOSH Diploma examination (NVQ level 4) 

HSE inspectors will give advice if requested but you can never tell where advice stops and inspection begins. 

The fact of appointing a safety adviser does not absolve employers from their statutory responsibilities - the role of the safety adviser is to give employers advice that will assist them in making decisions on how to meet their statutory obligations. However, it is common for employers to delegate the performance of their obligations to a manager or other appointee.

A Road Safety Audit should give safety advice and the designer/client makes the decision whether or not to take on board the advice.
