Health and Safety Compliance : From Competency to Capability

Ensuring health and safety competence amongst employees, contractors and suppliers is vital for any industry, yet the wide variety of health and safety assessment schemes out there makes it difficult to maintain standards.

Assessing Health and Safety: From Competency to Capability is a one stop guide to health and safety compliance, encouraging both individuals and organisations to aim beyond the basic statutory requirements of competency towards a fully assured capability in health and safety.

With handy tips boxes and real life case studies from small and medium-sized enterprises right up to global multi-nationals, Assessing Health and Safety empowers readers to compare like-for like and to formulate their own strategy for health and safety capability.

As businesses become increasingly global in their operations, supply chain compliance and individual competence can help to reduce accidents, protect your business and provide a competitive edge when bidding for new tenders.

This book provides health and safety practitioners, construction managers, procurement managers, students and local authorities with all they will need to move from competency to capability.
