Members of the Partnership for Occupational Health and Safety in Healthcare (POSHH), a sub group of the NHS Staff Council, have produced a document which pulls together legal requirements, examples of good practice and practical guidance on meeting standards for the key areas of occupational health and safety. Following the Occupational Health and Safety Standards will both help trusts meet their legal obligations, and achieve the health and safety aspects of the Healthcare Commissions Standards for Better Health; NHS Litigation Authority standards and the Improving Working Lives initiative. The standards also provide a useful checklist for those involved in the commissioning of care. Last reviewed 5 Nov 2008 |
