Omfax Think Safety Handbook

The Omfax Think Safety Handbook is a slim, easy-to-read handbook designed to encourage members of staff to follow general health and safety practices.

Its professional presentation, simple language, clear illustrations and check lists encourage understanding and the adoption of good working practices.

It is designed to:

• support employers in promoting their health and safety policies and adhering to legislation
• act as a basis for on-going training
• promote interest and awareness in health and safety issues in the workplace.

It covers a range of topics which apply to working activities within the office and ‘out and about’ including:

• working at a VDU
• dealing with abusive people
• what to do in an emergency including essential first aid
• lifting and carrying heavy objects
• dealing with chemicals, gas and electricity
• reporting incidents and hazards.

The handbook has been designed to complement an organisation’s existing health and safety procedure manuals.
