Workplace Safety Management System

Introduction - Welcome what its about

Welcome to this 1^st version of the Workplace Safety Management System (WSMS) which, for the first time, brings together all of the risk assessments, training materials and training records necessary for you to deliver an excellent service in a safe and compliant way.

We want everyone, our clients, customers and colleagues, to be safe and secure, when working or dining in the areas where Compass UK and Ireland operate a service. The process and guidance for doing so has been available for some time, but now, for the first time, it is contained within a single system which is easy to follow, up to date and simple to work from.
