Health and Safety
Purpose: A statutory requirement for all organisations employing five or more persons. Key questions for the Buyer: Is your organisation a safe one to do business with? Typical Scoring/Assessment: Typically Pass/Fail as this is a legislative requirement. Responses will be rejected if they cannot meet this requirement (unless you have less than five employees in which case you are not required by law to have a documented policy). Certain questions may be given a weighted scoring, for example the RIDDOR statistics will often be compared to the national average for an organisation of a similar size and industry, and your performance may be ranked on that basis.
