Workplace Safety Management System

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 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.

For additional Health and Safety Documentation i.e. operational forms please refer to the Safety A-Z
