Manufacturing Health & Safety Software FAQs

What are the H&S regulations in UK manufacturing?

Health and safety in UK manufacturing is primarily governed by the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974, alongside related regulations. Employers must carry out risk assessments, implement appropriate control measures, provide training, maintain safe equipment, and consult employees on safety matters. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) oversees compliance and provides guidance to manufacturing environments.

Can software streamline safety compliance in factories?

Yes, health and safety software can significantly streamline compliance in factory settings. It centralises all safety processes, such as incident reporting, inspections, training records, and risk assessments into one digital platform. This enables real-time monitoring, automated alerts, and accessible documentation for audits. By reducing manual paperwork and improving data accuracy, software helps manufacturers stay compliant with health and safety requirements, improve accountability, and respond quickly to potential risks or non-conformances across multiple sites.

How do I train staff on safety in manufacturing?

Staff should receive clear and practical training on how to stay safe at work. This includes inductions for new employees, training on how to use machines safely, how to lift properly, when and how to wear PPE, and what to do in an emergency. Regular refreshers and short safety talks help keep safety top of mind. All training should be recorded and kept up to date.

What should be included in H&S policies?

A good health and safety policy explains how your business keeps people safe. It should include who is responsible for safety, how risks are managed, how staff are trained, what to do in emergencies, and how the policy is reviewed and improved. It should follow UK law and be shared with all employees.

What advice is available on factory safety?

Manufacturers in the UK can access factory safety advice from the Health and Safety Executive (HSE), which offers detailed guidance on machinery safety, noise and vibration, and more. Sector-specific advice is also available from trade associations like Make UK, British Safety Council, and Institution of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). Employers can also engage external consultants or adopt digital systems to manage and monitor safety practices more effectively. Regular audits and employee feedback play a key role in maintaining safe factory environments.
