If you are a Healthcare multi discipline site please note that you will need to use the relevant documentation for ALL services on the Healthcare Risk Assessment page and not the documents below.
Introduction - Welcome what its about
Welcome to this 1st 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.
For additional Health and Safety Documentation i.e. operational forms please refer to the Safety A-Z
Essential Risk Assessments
All Essential Risk Assessments must be completed, where applicable, in every Compass operating unit, be that a catering unit, healthcare setting or facilities management site. These include assessments that are specifically required by legislation or which have been created due to the nature of hazards and risks identified within our business operations.
