ABSTRACT
The chapter addresses you as an employer but it also applies to selfemployed people, or people who are in control of premises.
The aim of health and safety management is to prevent accidents from happening by ensuring that all safety precautions, controls and procedures are in operation and working. However, in any organisation things sometimes go wrong and accidents can still happen. Procedures need to be set up to deal with these unplanned events. Managers and employees need to think about accident and emergency situations before they happen and plan how to deal with them.
