• Positive Observations

• High Priority Actions

• Opportunities for Improvement

• Implementing features which characterise good health and safety management and promote a positive health and safety culture and a culture of individual responsibility should be worked towards.
  One way to reflect on what is required in this regard is to anticipate the criminal process likely in the event of a health and safety failure. In such circumstances, enforcement officers will always look for the same evidence:
  
  · an effective health and safety policy, organisation and arrangements for health and safety;
  · risk assessments;
  · evidence of training to those risk assessments; and
  · evidence of active monitoring of health and safety performance in relation to risk assessments.
