A good Safety, Health and Welfare policy is not only required by law but is also profitable for your company and your staff. With good SHW policy you limit expenses due to absence. Furthermore, safe and healthy working saves your staff a lot of personal grief as a result of accidents and sickness, so everybody profits from good working conditions.
As a company you are no longer required to be affiliated with a Safety, Health and Welfare Service, but you are required to have the support of a certified Safety, Health and Welfare expert. This can be a company doctor, company hygienist, safety expert or labour and organization expert. Companies can choose to hire the expertise through a Safety, Health and Welfare Service (safety net arrangement) or organize it themselves (custom arrangement). Mazars HR Services can assist you in choosing a certified Safety, Health and Welfare expert.
Working hours also play an important role in good working conditions. Working too long on a shift can be dangerous and ultimately bad for one’s health. In order to protect employees from working shifts that are excessive, the Working Hours Act was implemented. Mazars HR Services supports you in the analysis of working hours, working schedules and shift systems. We also help you to set up appropriate working schedules and shift systems.
Mazars HR Services organizes seminars regarding this subject on a regular basis. For large companies with multiple offices it might be interesting to have an in-company workshop; ideal for exchanging ideas, increasing knowledge and harmonizing procedures and guidelines within your organization.
