GOSHA was formed in November 2004 and we aim to help businesses, charities and other organisations in Guernsey to be better informed about workplace health & safety. We are run by volunteers and are a not for profit association.We advocate a sensible, practical approach and, often, the simplest measures can be employed to make the working environment safe and pleasant for those employed in a business. A regular walk around to look for hazards (a risk assessment) can make a big difference and many businesses engage a variety of people to be proactive in checking and improving workplace safety. Good training makes a huge difference and takes away the often poor image of workplace safety & health portrayed in the media.We organise talks throughout the year by a variety of on and off island experts, site visits and a newsletter to help people to be better informed.
