Workplace Safety

Guidance on risk assessment, accident prevention, emergency planning and winter preparation for a safer workplace.

Assessing Risks

Assessing risk in your workplace is the first step towards preventing accidents and planning for emergencies.

Avoiding Hazards

BOC offers specific hazard avoidance information and guidelines relating to atmospheric imbalance and fire.

Emergency Planning

Under the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulations 2002 (SI 2677), employers have to assess hazards which might adversely affect employees' health and put a safe system of work in place. BOC provides guidance on preparing for gas leak and fire emergencies.

Winter Preparation

BOC can provide you with winter safety information, including how to de-ice equipment, travel and work carefully according to the weather conditions.
